Agreements of the
United States in Force
on January 1, 2010
This publication lists treaties and other international agreements of the United States on record in the

Office of the Legal Adviser,
U.S. Department of State.

Treaties in Force as of January 1, 2010

Foreword
Treaties in Force is prepared by the Department of State for the purpose of providing information on treaties and other inter-
national 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, January 1, 2010. With respect to treaties and agreements in force as of January 1,
2010, information regarding status is up to date as of the date indicated as authoritative.
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 and/or HTML format, which allow text searches and printing of the entire document or
selections from it.
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 inde-
pendent, 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 sub-
ject. 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 Constitu-
tion of the United States. In addition to such ―treaties‖, this publication covers international agreements in force that have been con-
cluded 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 President‘s 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.
