JANICE CARTER* Treaties and International Agreements under U.S. and International Law: A Selected Bibliographyt Editor's Note: The following selected and partially annotatedbibliography hopefully will assist practicingattorneys, scholars and students, who have frequent or occasional need to research questions about the force and interpretationof treaties. The bibliography lists English language books, articles, Federal and international documents, and other publications on issues regardingthe making, implementation, and terminationof treaties in light of U.S. and international law. With respect to international law, special attention is given to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and debate over its provisions. Concerning U.S. law, the emphasis is on executive-congressionalrelations in the making and termination of treaties and internationalagreements. The section on treatiesand treaty collections is annotated, and focuses on resources useful in locating information on U.S. treaties throughout the treatymaking process, although a few selected compilations internationalin scope are identified. Guides to treaty collec- tions and treaty research, which may be helpful in identifying additional resources, are also described. An outline of the contents precedes the bibliography. *Formerly, Senior Bibliographer, Foreign Affairs, Library Services Division, Library of Congress. tThis is an abridged and edited version of a bibliography compiled and annotated by Ms. Carter under the title, The Making of Treaties and InternationalAgreements: Congressional- Executive Relations in Light of U.S. and InternationalLaw; A Selective, Annotated Bibliogra- phy, which appeared in CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, 98TH CONG., 2D SESS., TREATIES AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS: THE ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE; A STUDY PREPARED FOR THE SENATE COMM.
