MODULE 1
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS
Unit 1. What is an international agreement?
¾ STARTING UP
1. What is an international agreement?
2. Can you give any examples of such agreements?
3. Do you know types of international agreements?
¾ READING
A. Read the text and say if you were right answering the above given
questions.
An international agreement is an official document signed by a group of
countries that want to make new rules relating to different spheres of human
activity such as trade, the environment, law, politics etc.
An international agreement is an instrument by which states and other subjects of international law, such as certain international organizations, regulate
matters of concern to them. The agreements assume a variety of form and style,
but they are all governed by the law of treaties, which is part of customary international law.
A treaty, the typical instrument of international relations, is defined by the
1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties as an “agreement concluded
between States in written form and governed by international law, whether
embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related instruments and
whatever its particular designation. Contractual treaties are treaties by which
the parties agree to exchange pieces of territory or settle a dispute or claims–
that is, by which they deal with a particular kind of business. Lawmaking
treaties, which have grown tremendously in number and significance since
World War II, are instruments in which the parties formulate principles or
detailed rules for their future conduct.”
Some multilateral agreements set up an international organization for a
specific purpose or a variety of purposes. They may therefore be referred to as
constituent agreements. The United Nations Charter (1945) is both a
multilateral treaty and the constituent instrument of the United Nations. The
constitution of an international organization may be part of a wider multilateral
treaty. The Treaty of Versailles (1919), for example, contained in Part I the
Covenant of the League of Nations and in Part XIII the constitution of the
International Labour Organisation.

The term supranational is of recent origin and is used to describe the type
of treaty structure developed originally by six western European states: France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. The first treaty
was that of Paris, signed in 1951, establishing the European Coal and Steel
Community (ECSC); the second, the Rome treaty, signed in 1957, establishing
the European Economic Community (EEC); the third, the Rome treaty of the
same date establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom).
A clause in the ECSC treaty provides for the complete independence of the
members of the executive organ from the governments that appoint them.
Treaties, however, are not the only instruments by which international
agreements are concluded. There are single instruments that lack the formality
of a treaty called agreed minute, memorandum of agreement, or modus vivendi;
there are formal single instruments called convention, agreement, protocol,
declaration, charter, covenant, pact, statute, final act, general act, and concordat
(the usual designation for accords with the Holy See); finally there are less
formal agreements consisting of two or more instruments, such as “exchange of
notes” or “exchange of letters.”
In the absence of an international legislature, the multilateral treaty is the
chosen instrument for adapting international law to changing circumstances
brought about by rapid technological developments and the ever-growing
interdependence of nations.
Despite the extreme diversity of international agreements, it is possible to
classify them according to the functions that they serve in international society.
Three such broad functions may be discerned; namely, the development and
codification of international law, the establishment of new levels of cooperation
and integration between states, and the resolution of actual and potential
international conflict.
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties contains a compromissory
clause (whereby participants agree to submit disputes to arbitration or the
International Court of Justice) for certain types of disputes and a procedure of
conciliation for others. The resistance of states to compulsory arbitration or
adjudication is indicative of their limited commitment to universal integration
through the rule of law. In this respect the European Economic Community is
an exception, providing as it does for the compulsory settlement of disputes
arising under the three constituent treaties by the Court of Justice, which is
open even to individuals. It may be noted that western Europe was the cradle of
nationalism and the doctrine of the sovereignty of states. Now it may have
become the cradle of supranational integration.
