    A List of Treaties and Other International Agreements of the United States in Force on November 1, 2007

    Section 1: Bilateral Treaties

  • Treaties in Force as of November 1, 2007

    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.

    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 format, which allows text searches and printing of individual pages or the entire document.

    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 Presidents 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. The absence of a listing for a particular agreement should not be regarded as a determination that it is not in force.

    I have the honour to inform you that Antigua and Barbuda became an independent nation on 1st Novem-ber, 1981, and is now ready to participate with other nations in fulfilling obligations under international law with respect to treaties to which this Government suc-ceeded upon independence. However, it is necessary to examine in depth such treaties to ascertain whether or not under customary international law any may have lapsed. Until this has been done the Government of Antigua and Barbuda wish:

    (a) that it be presumed that each Treaty has been legally succeeded to by Antigua and Barbuda; and

    (b) that future action be based on the presumption in (a) above.

    You will be notified in due course of those treaties this Government regards as having lapsed and those treaties which this Government wishes to terminate. Notice of lapse or termination in an appropriate form will also be given to the country or countries that is or are party to those treaties.
