  1. DEFINITIONS

  2. CONFERENCE • A meeting for consultation or discussion • An exchange of views • A meeting of committees to settle differences between two legislative (law making) bodies

  3. CONVENTION • An agreement between states, sides, or military forces, especially an international agreement dealing with a specific subject, such as the treatment of prisoners of war • A formal meeting of members, representatives, or delegates, as of a political party, profession, or industry.

  4. SUMMIT • A conference or meeting of high-level leaders, usually called to shape a program of action

  5. AGREEMNET • A properly executed ( carry out, implement) and legally binding contract

  6. TREATY • A treaty is an agreement under international law entered into by actors in international law, namely states and international organizations. A Treaty may also be known as: (international) agreement, protocol, covenant, convention, exchange of letters, exchange of notes, memorandum of understanding, etc. Regardless of the terminology, all of these international agreements under international law are equally treaties and the rules are the same

  7. TYPES OF TREATIES • MULTILATERAL TREATY A multilateral treaty has several parties, and establishes rights and obligations (commitment, contract) between each party and every other party. BILATERAL TREATY Bilateral treaties by contrast are negotiated between a limited number of states, most commonly only two, establishing legal rights and obligations between those two states only. It is possible however for a bilateral treaty to have more than two parties; consider for instance the bilateral treaties between Switzerland and the European Union (EU)

  8. PROTOCOL • A protocol is generally a treaty or international agreement that supplements a previous treaty or international agreement. A protocol can amend the previous treaty, or add additional provisions

  9. Ratification • Ratification is the act of giving official sanction or approval to a formal document such as a treaty or constitution. It includes the process of adopting an international treaty by the legislature (Law making) , a constitution (The system of fundamental laws and principles ), or another nationally binding document

  10. ENTERED INTO FORCE • Entered into force (also called enforcement or enactment) refers to the date and process by which legislation, or part of legislation, comes to have legal force and effect.
