Vol. 1845 NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT Under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations every treaty and every international agree- ment 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 (1), established regulations to give effect to Article 102 of the Charter (see text of the regulations, vol. 859, p. VIII). The terms "treaty" and "international agreement" have not been defined 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 concerned the instru- ment 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. Unless otherwise indicated, the translations of the original texts of treaties, etc., published in this Series have been made by the Secretariat of the United Nations. NOTE DU SECRIPTARIAT Aux termes de l'Article 102 de la Charte des Nations Unies, tout traitd ou accord international conclu par un Membre des Nations Unies apris l'entr6e en vigueur de la Charte sera, le plus t6t possible, enregistr6 au Secr6tariat et publid par lui. De plus, aucune partie . un trait6 ou accord international qui aurait dO 8tre enregistrd mais ne l'a pas 6t6 ne pourra invoquer ledit trait6 ou accord devant un organe des Nations Unies. Par sa r6solution 97 (I), l'Assembl6e g6n6rale a adopt6 un riglement destin6 A mettre en application l'Article 102 de la Charte (voir texte du r~glement, vol. 859, p. IX). Le terme < trait6 > et l'expression < accord international >n'ont 6t6 d6finis ni dans la Charte ni dans le r~glement, et le Secr6tariat a pris comme principe de s'en tenir A la position adoptde i cet 6gard par l'Etat Membre qui a pr6sentd l'instrument A l'enregistrement, A savoir que pour autant qu'il s'agit de cet Etat comme partie contractante l'instrument constitue un trait6 ou un accord international au sens de l'Article 102. I1 s'ensuit que l'enregistrement d'un instrument pr6sent6 par un Etat Membre n'implique, de la part du Secr6tariat, aucun jugement sur la nature de l'instrument, le statut d'une partie ou toute autre question similaire. Le Secr6tariat consid~re donc que les actes qu'il pourrait etre amen6 A accomplir ne conferent pas A un instrument la qualit6 de < trait6 > ou d'< accord international > si cet instrument n'a pas d6jA cette qualit6, et qu'ils ne conferent pas A une partie un statut que, par ailleurs, elle ne poss6derait pas. Sauf indication contraire, ies traductions des textes originaux des trait6s, etc., pubiids dans ce Re- cuei ont 6t6 6tablies par le Secretariat de l'Organisation des Nations Unies.
