Treaties in Force as January 1, 2013
Foreword
Treaties in Force is prepared by the Department of State for the
purpose of providing information on treaties and other
international agreements to which the United States has become a
party and which are carried on the records of the Department of
State as being in force as of its stated publication date, January
1, 2013. With respect to treaties and agreements in force as of
January 1, 2013, information regarding status is up to date as of
the date indicated as authoritative.
The electronic edition of Treaties in Force may be updated
periodically throughout the year on the Treaty Affairs webpage. It
is presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF and/or HTML format, which allow
text searches and printing of the entire document or selections
from it.
The print edition of Treaties in Force is published annually in
limited quantities to meet the needs of certain users who are not
able to consult the on-line version. The print edition lists only
those treaties on record at the time of publication as being in
force for the United States on January 1 of each year. Because the
print edition is only updated annually, the electronic edition, in
most cases, will better reflect the current status of U.S. treaties
and international agreements.
Arrangement
Treaties in Force is arranged in two sections. Section 1
includes bilateral treaties and other international agreements
listed by country or other international entity with subject
headings under each entry. Arrangements with territorial
possessions of a country appear at the end of the entry for that
country. In some cases, treaties and international agreements
applicable to a territory prior to its independence are included in
the entry for that country on the basis of its assumption of treaty
obligations upon becoming independent, as noted at the beginning of
the entry for that country. For convenience, some treaties and
agreements concluded with countries whose name or statehood status
has changed continue to be listed under the name in use at the time
the agreement was concluded, if the title of the treaty or
agreement has not been formally amended.
Section 2 lists multilateral treaties and other international
agreements to which the United States is a party, arranged by
subject. The depositary is the authoritative source for a current
list of parties and information on other matters concerning the
status of the agreement, and status information often changes.
Information is provided on the depositary for the agreement in
question, and contact information, including an Internet site is
provided for the depositary where available.
Scope
Treaties in Force uses the term “treaty” in the generic sense as
defined in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, that is,
an international agreement “governed by international law, whether
embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related
instruments and whatever its particular designation.” The term
“treaty” as a matter of U.S. constitutional law denotes
international agreements made by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate in accordance with Article II, section 2 of
the Constitution of the United States. In addition to such
“treaties”, this publication covers international agreements in
force that have been concluded by the Executive (a) pursuant to or
in accordance with existing legislation or a prior treaty; (b)
subject to congressional approval or implementation, and/or (c)
under and in accordance with the President’s constitutional
powers.
Treaties in Force includes those treaties and other
international agreements entered into by the United States which,
as of the specified date, had not expired by their own terms, been
denounced by the parties, replaced or superseded by other
agreements, or otherwise definitely terminated. Certain agreements,
particularly those concerned with World War II and the immediate
postwar period, which contain continuing provisions or which have
not been clearly terminated in their entirety are included even
though operations under the agreements may have ceased. While all
efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of this publication, the
presence or absence of a particular agreement, as well as the
details cited regarding a listed agreement, should not be regarded
as determinative of the status of the agreement. Some categories of
agreements, such as those implementing certain other agreements,
are deliberately omitted from this publication even though they
constitute binding international agreements. If there is a question
about the status or details of a particular agreement, the text of
the agreement itself always should be consulted in the first
instance. Please bring any suspected errors or omissions to the
attention of the Office of Treaty Affairs at the U.S. Department of
State.
