Under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations every treaty and every international agreement entered into by any Member of the United Nations after the coming into force of the Charter shall, as soon as possible, be registered with the Secretariat and published by it. Furthermore, no party to a treaty or international agreement subject to registration which has not been registered may invoke that treaty or agreement before any organ of the United Nations. The General Assembly, by resolution 97 (I), established regulations to give effect to Article 102 of the Charter (see text of the regulations, vol. 76, p. XVIII). The terms "treaty" and "international agreement" have not been denned either in the Charter or in the regulations, and the Secretariat follows the principle that it acts in accordance with the position of the Member State submitting an instrument for registration that so far as that party is con­ cerned the instrument is a treaty or an international agreement within the meaning of Article 102. Registration of an instrument submitted by a Member State, therefore, does not imply a judgement by the Secretariat on the nature of the instrument, the status of a party or any similar question. It is the understanding of the Secretariat that its action does not confer on the instrument the status of a treaty or an international agreement if it does not already have that status and does not confer on a party a status which it would not otherwise have. i GENERAL INTRODUCTION

This is the eleventh volume of the Cumulative Index. It covers the treaties and international agreements contained in volumes 701 to 750 of the United Nations Treaty Series. The volume consists of three sections, each preceded by an explanatory note. In the first section, "Chronological Index", treaties and inter­ national agreements are listed in the order of the dates on which they were signed, or were opened for signature or accession, or otherwise modified. The second section is a separate list of "General International Agreements", also arranged chronologically by date. The third section, "Alphabetical Index", refers to treaties and international agreements by party and by subject.

References

Entries in all three sections contain references to treaty numbers and volume and page numbers. Treaty numbers for instruments included in the United Nations Treaty Series consist of a roman numeral and an arabic numeral, joined by a colon (e.g. 1:10700; 11:654). The roman numeral I signifies treaties and international agreements registered with the Secretariat; roman numeral II signifies treaties and international agreements filed and recorded by the Secretariat. The arabic numeral indicates the serial number assigned to the instrument within categories I and II. Treaties and international agreements appearing in the Treaty Series are identified by the symbol "LoN" followed by the arabic number of the treaty registration. Volume numbers in the United Nations Treaty Series are in arabic numerals; those in the League of Nations Treaty Series are in roman
