Written agreement between two or more states.
Treaties take effect either immediately on
signature or, more often, on ratification.
Ratification involves a further exchange of
documents and usually takes place after the
internal governments have approved the terms
of the treaty. Treaties are binding in
international law, the rules being laid down
in the Vienna Convention on the Law of
Treaties 1969.
