Treaty Creation and Termination Guide

The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969 outlines the process for creating, adopting, ratifying, and terminating treaties under international law. Treaties are international agreements concluded in writing between states. They are negotiated between states to come to an agreement on terms. The text is adopted when all participating states consent, typically by a two-thirds majority vote. States then ratify to officially establish consent and be bound under international law. Treaties can be terminated according to provisions within the treaty or by consent of all parties.

HOW ARE TREATIES


CREATED?
“Treaty” means an international

States in written form and
governed by international law.

NEGOTIATION
Negotiation involves the mediation of the various interests concerned in order
to come up with the terms of the treaty. A “negotiating State” means a State

ADOPTION

participating in its drawing. The adoption of the text of a treaty at an international
conference takes place by the vote of two thirds of the States present and voting,
unless by the same majority they shall decide to apply a different rule.

AUTHENTICATION
The text of a treaty is established as authentic and definitive by such procedure
as may be provided for in the text or agreed upon by the States participating in
its drawing up; or failing such procedure, by the signature, signature ad
referendum or initialling by the representatives of those States of the text of
the treaty or of the Final Act of a conference incorporating the text.

Ratification is an international act whereby a State establishes on
the international plane its consent to be bound by a treaty.
