Titles of treaties “European Treaty Series” (ETS) and “Council of Europe Treaty Series” (CETS) The 1949 Statute of the Council of Europe has been numbered “1” in the series. Amendments and texts of statutory character adopted after this have been numbered 6, 7, 8 and 11. However, as these texts are not treaties in the meaning of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, they have been removed from the list of treaties and appended to the Statute of the Council of Europe. Treaties Nos. 3 and 4 are the headquarters agreements concluded between the Council of Europe and France. As these texts are bilateral treaties, and not multilateral treaties adopted pursuant to Article 15 of the Statute, they have also been removed from the list. As regards treaties supplemented by protocols “A” or “B”, this corresponds to a practice followed until 1972 when a convention and a protocol were adopted and opened for signature on the same day in order to underline the links between the two instruments. This practice is no longer used. All treaties (conventions, protocols) have their own separate number in the series. Conventions and agreements opened for signature between 1949 and 2003 were published in the “European Treaty Series” (ETS Nos. 1 to 193 included). Since 2004, this Series is continued by the “Council of Europe Treaty Series” (CETS No. 194 and following). It was decided, in December 2011, in agreement with the editorial department and the Secretariat of the Committee of Ministers, that in respect to the titles of the conventions, protocols and agreements, in English, the initials of the words within the title would be written in uppercase, except for articles, conjunctions, prepositions and gerunds such as “relating, concerning, establishing, etc.”. They remain in lowercase in French. Page 8 ► Practical guide – Treaty Office of the Council of Europe 3.

The ECLJ has held Special Consultative Status before the United Nations/ECOSOC since 200i.

Such a manoeuvre indicates that the Palestinians are prepared to violate the terms of agreements they have entered into when such terms become inconvenient or do not lead to the results the Palestinians otherwise desire.

The Vatican participates in interna- tional conferences as well as in bilateral and multilateral treaties with world nations. Nevertheless, the Church is not a state, nor does it claim to be one.

  • Treaties and Congressional-Executive Or Presidential Agreements: Interchangeable Instruments of National Policy: Ii
    TREATIES AND CONGRESSIONAL-EXECUTIVE OR PRESIDENTIAL AGREEMENTS: INTERCHANGEABLE INSTRUMENTS OF NATIONAL POLICY: II MYRES S. McDOUGALt AND ASHER LANSt VII. THE REQUIREMENTS OF A DEMOCRATIC FOREIGN POLIcy FOR THE WHOLE NATION The existence under our Constitution of the variety of interchange- able techniques, described in the previous Sections of this article,' for perfecting international agreements has obviously served the nation well in the past. It may in the future, 2 if the facts of variety and inter- changeability are fully recognized and acted upon by the public and by all branches of the Government, provide a system for the conduct of our foreign relations which is adequate both to cope with the im- peratives of survival and to secure our other national interests in the contemporary world-that is, a system whereby policy is quickly and easily formed by democratic means for the nation as a whole, and whereby the execution of policy is prompt and efficient, without being subjected to the adventitious whims and disintegrating attacks of obstructionist minority control. The flexibility and dispatch which such a system may require are available in the President's powers to make the initial decision as to how any particular agree- ment is to be perfected and to make and perform, on his own responsibility, all agreements needed to meet war and other emergen- cies. Conversely, ample check upon any arbitrary or unwise exercise of executive power, beyond what is imposed by public opinion and the President's unique responsibility to the voters of the whole nation, is insured by the fact that, without the aid of the Congress, the powers of the President, or even of the President and the Senate, to perform important international agreements are in the long run severely limited.

  • MEMORANDUM January 30, 2015 To: to the Honorable Earl Blumenauer Attention: Kelsey L
    MEMORANDUM January 30, 2015 To: To the Honorable Earl Blumenauer Attention: Kelsey L. Aulakh and David Skillman From: Susan Chesser Information Research Specialist, 202-707-9547 Subject: Multilateral Executive Agreements 1985-2014 This memo responds to your request for a list of multilateral executive agreements to which the government of the United States has become a party over the past thirty years. Following is a list of these agreements compiled by comparing several sources. The U.S. Department of State publishes and posts electronically the annual Treaties in Force, which lists all treaties and other international agreements to which the United States is a party. Most recently, the Department published Treaties in Force as of January 1, 2013, plus a supplement that was published in 2014 listing all agreements that came into force during 2013. In addition, the Department posts Texts of International Agreements to which the US is a Party (TIAS). This site provides links to the text of each agreement from 1996 through 2014. As mentioned in our telephone conversation, I compared the titles of multilateral agreements listed in the above publications with the Treaties database in the Legislative Information System and identified the agreements that were sent to the U.S. Senate for approval, which is required of all treaties. The multilateral international agreements that were not sent to the Senate are, therefore, executive agreements. Following is the list of these international agreements since 1985, with entries copied from and arranged by topics designated in Treaties in Force. For complete identification of all parties to the agreements below, as well as identifying citations, please consult these sources.
