NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT

Under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations every treaty and every international agree-ment entered into by any Member of the United Nations after the coming into force of the Charter shall,as soon as possible, be registered with the Secretariat and published by it. Furthermore, no party to atreaty or international agreement subject to registration which has not been registered may invoke thattreaty or agreement before any organ of the United Nations. The General Assembly, by resolution 97 (l),established regulations to give effect to Article 102 of the Charter (see text of the regulations, vol. 859,p. VIII).

The terms "treaty" and "international agreement" have not been defined either in the Charter or inthe regulations, and the Secretariat follows the principle that it acts in accordance with the position of theMember State submitting an instrument for registration that so far as that party is concerned the instru-ment is a treaty or an international agreement within the meaning of Article 102. Registration of an in-strument submitted by a Member State, therefore, does not imply a judgement by the Secretariat on thenature of the instrument, the status of a party or any similar question. It is the understanding of theSecretariat that its action does not confer on the instrument the status of a treaty or an internationalagreement if it does not already have that status and does not confer on a party a status which it wouldnot otherwise have.

Unless otherwise indicated, the translations of the original texts of treaties, etc., published in thisSeries have been made by the Secretariat of the United Nations.

NOTE DU SECRItTARIAT
