Public International Law: Treaties

Some important questions to ask before starting your research:

·         Is it a bilateral or multilateral treaty?

·         Who are the parties to the treaty?

·         Is the treaty in force?

·         Has the treaty been signed, ratified, repudiated, or modified?

·         Are there reservations to the treaty?

·         Is there an international organization that oversees or administers international law in the subject area of the treaty?
