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, January 1, 2020.
The electronic edition of Treaties in Force may be updated periodically throughout the year on the Treaty Affairs
webpage. It is presented in PDF format, which allows text searches and printing of the entire document or selections from
it. A number of format changes were introduced in the 2016 version of Treaties in Force. A description of those changes
may be found in the Foreword to the 2016 edition.
Special note: Due to complications arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, the Office of Treaty Affairs will not be
issuing a print edition in 2020.
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 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. Additionally, certain foreign
assistance and grant agreements under which principle operations have concluded but which have not been terminated,
have been omitted. While all efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of this publication, the presence or absence of a
particular agreement, as well as the details cited regarding a listed agreement, should not be regarded as determinative of
the status of the agreement. Some categories of agreements, such as those implementing certain other agreements, are
deliberately omitted from this publication even though they constitute binding international agreements. If there is a
question about the status or details of a particular agreement, the text of the agreement itself always should be consulted in
the first instance. Please bring any suspected errors or omissions to the attention of the Office of Treaty Affairs at the U.S.
Department of State.

On November 1, 1981, Antigua and Barbuda became an independent state

Commonwealth of Nations. In a note dated November 4, 1981, to the
Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Deputy Prime Minister and

I have the honour to inform you that Antigua and Barbuda became an
independent nation on 1st November, 1981, and is now ready to participate
with other nations in fulfilling obligations under international law with
respect to treaties to which this Government succeeded 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.

B
THE BAHAMAS
On July 10, 1973, The Bahamas became an independent state. In a note
dated July 10, 1973, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the
Prime Minister made a statement reading in part as follows:
I have the honour, further to inform you that the Government of the
Commonwealth of The Bahamas, conscious of the desirability of
maintaining existing legal relationships, and conscious of its obligations
under international law to honour its treaty commitments, acknowledges
that many treaty rights and obligations of the Government of the United
Kingdom in respect of The Bahamas were succeeded to by the
Commonwealth of The Bahamas upon Independence by virtue of
customary international law.
Since, however, it is likely that in virtue of customary international law
certain treaties may have lapsed at the date of Independence of the
Commonwealth of The Bahamas, it seems essential that each treaty should
be subjected to legal examination. It is proposed, after this examination has
been completed, to indicate which, if any, of the treaties which may have
lapsed by customary international law the Government of the
Commonwealth of The Bahamas wishes to treat as having lapsed.
It is desired that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally succeeded
to by the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and that action be based on this
presumption until a decision is reached that the treaty should be regarded
as having lapsed. Should the Government of the Commonwealth of The
Bahamas be of the opinion that it has legally succeeded to a treaty, and
wishes to terminate the operation of the treaty, it will in due course give
notice of termination in the terms thereof.

BARBADOS
On November 30, 1966, Barbados became an independent state. In a note
dated February 10, 1967, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations,
the Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs made a statement
reading in part as follows:
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Barbados,
conscious of the desirability of maintaining existing legal relationships,
and conscious of its obligation under international law to honour its treaty
commitments, acknowledges that many treaty rights and obligations of the
Government of the United Kingdom in respect of Barbados were
succeeded to by Barbados upon independence by virtue of customary
international law.
2. Since, however, it is likely that by virtue of customary international law
certain treaties may have lapsed at the date of independence of Barbados, it
seems essential that each treaty should be subjected to legal examination.
It is proposed after this examination has been completed, to indicate
which, if any, of the treaties which may have lapsed by customary
international law the Government of Barbados wishes to treat as having
lapsed.
3. It is desired that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally
succeeded to by Barbados and that action be based on this presumption
until a decision is reached that it should be regarded as having lapsed.
Should the Government of Barbados be of the opinion that it has legally
succeeded to a treaty and wishes to terminate the operation of the treaty, it
will in due course give notice of termination in the terms thereof.

BELIZE
On September 21, 1981, Belize became an independent state. In a letter
dated September 29, 1982, to the Secretary General of the United Nations,
the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belize made a
statement reading in part as follows:
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Belize has decided
to continue to apply provisionally and on the basis of reciprocity, all
treaties to which the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland was a party, the application of which was extended
either expressly or by necessary implication to the then dependent territory
of Belize.
Such provisional application would subsist until Belize otherwise notifies
Your Excellency, the depository (in the case of a multilateral treaty), or the
state party (in the case of a bilateral treaty.)
On October 14, 2009, the U.S. Department of State sent a diplomatic note
to the Government of Belize which included a “list of multilateral treaties
that continued to apply provisionally and on the basis of reciprocity
between the United States and Belize upon Belize’s independence and
thereafter…” as well as “a list of bilateral treaties and other international
agreements that are carried on the records of the Department of State as
being in force between the United States and Belize as of January 1,
2009...”.

BOTSWANA
On September 30, 1966, Bechuanaland Protectorate became the
independent state of Botswana.
In a note dated October 6, 1966, to the Secretary-General of the United
Nations the President of Botswana made a statement reading in part as
follows:
As regards bilateral treaties validly concluded by the Government of the
United Kingdom on behalf of the former Bechuanaland Protectorate, or
validly applied or extended by the said Government to the territory of the
former Bechuanaland Protectorate, the Government of Botswana is willing
to continue to apply within its territory, on a basis of reciprocity, the terms
of all such treaties for a period of twenty-four months from the date of
independence (i.e., until October 1, 1968) unless abrogated or modified
earlier by mutual consent. At the expiry of that period, the Government of
Botswana will regard such of these treaties which could not by the
application of the rules of customary international law be regarded as
otherwise surviving, as having terminated.
It is the earnest hope of the Government of Botswana that during the
aforementioned period of twenty-four months, the normal processes of
diplomatic negotiations will enable it to reach satisfactory accord with the
States concerned upon the possibility of the continuance or modification of
such treaties.
The Government of Botswana is conscious that the above declaration
applicable to bilateral treaties cannot with equal facility be applied to
multilateral treaties. As regards these, therefore, the Government of
Botswana proposes to review each of them individually and to indicate to
the depositary in each case what steps it wishes to take in relation to each
such instrument whether by way of confirmation of termination,
confirmation of succession or accession. During such interim period of
review any party to a multilateral treaty which has, prior to independence,
been applied or extended to the former Bechuanaland Protectorate, may,
on a basis of reciprocity, rely as against Botswana on the terms of such
treaty.”

BRUNEI
On January 1, 1984, the former British protected state of Brunei gained
full independence. In a letter dated January 1, 1984, to the Secretary
General of the United Nations, the Sultan made a statement reading in part
as follows:
“The Government of Brunei Darussalam recognises that it is desirable to
maintain to the fullest extent compatible with the resumption by Brunei
Darussalam of its status and emergence on 1st January 1984 as a fully
independent and sovereign nation, legal continuity in treaty relations
between Brunei Darussalam and other states. Accordingly, the
Government of Brunei Darussalam makes the following declaration:
“1] As regards bilateral treaties validly concluded by the United Kingdom
on behalf of Brunei Darussalam or validly applied or extended by the
former to the latter, the Government of Brunei Darussalam is willing to
accept, on a basis of reciprocity, the rights and obligations under the terms
of all such treaties for a period of five years from 1st January 1984 until
31st December 1988 unless abrogated or modified earlier by mutual
consent. At the expiry of that period, the Government of Brunei
Darussalam will regard such of those treaties which could not by the
application of the rules of customary international law be regarded as
otherwise surviving, as having terminated.
“2] The Government of Brunei Darussalam acknowledges that the above
declaration applicable to bilateral treaties cannot with equal facility be
applied to multilateral treaties. As regards these, therefore, the
Government of Brunei Darussalam proposes to examine each of them
individually and to indicate to the depositary in each case what steps it
wishes to take in relation to each such instrument whether by
confirmation of termination, confirmation of succession or accession.
During the period of examination the Government of Brunei Darussalam
will on a basis of reciprocity accept all treaty rights and obligations
accruing and arising under all multilateral treaties which were prior to
independence validly applied or extended to Brunei Darussalam.”

CHINA (HONG KONG)
In connection with Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China submitted
to the Secretary General of the United Nations a note, dated June 20, 1997,
which reads in pertinent part as follows:
In accordance with the Joint Declaration of the Government of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and North Ireland and the Government of the
People’s Republic of China on the Question of Hong Kong signed on 19
December 1984 (hereinafter referred to as the Joint Declaration), the
People’s Republic of China will resume the exercise of sovereignty over
Hong Kong with effect from 1 July 1997. Hong Kong will, with effect
from that date, become a Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China.
It is provided in Section I of Annex I to the Joint Declaration, “Elaboration
by the Government of the People’s Republic of China of its Basic Policies
Regarding Hong Kong”, and in Articles 12, 13 and 14 of the Basic Law of
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of
China, which was adopted on 4 April 1990 by the National People’s
Congress of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the
Basic law), that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will enjoy
a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs which are
the responsibility
of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China.
Furthermore, it is provided both in Section XI of Annex I to the Joint
Declaration and Article 153 of the Basic Law that international agreements
to which the People’s Republic of China is not a party but which are
implemented in Hong Kong may continue to be implemented in the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region.
In this connection, on behalf of the Government of the People’s Republic
of China, I would like to inform Your Excellency as follows:
I. The treaties listed in Annex I [not printed herein] to this Note, to which
the People’s Republic of China is a party, will be applied to the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region with effect from 1 July 1997 as they:
(i) are applied to Hong Kong before 1 July 1997; or
(ii) fall within the category of foreign affairs or defence or, owing to their
nature and provisions, must apply to the entire territory of a State; or
(iii) are not applied to Hong Kong before 1 July 1997 but with respect to
which it has been decided to apply them to the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region with effect from that date (denoted by an asterisk in
Annex I.)
II. The treaties listed in Annex II [not printed herein] to this Note, to which
the People’s Republic of China is not yet a party and which apply to Hong
Kong before 1 July 1997, will continue to apply to the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region with effect from 1 July 1997.
The provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights as
applied to Hong Kong shall remain in force beginning from 1 July 1997....
III. The Government of the People’s Republic of China has already carried
out separately the formalities required for the application of the treaties
listed in the aforesaid Annexes, including all the related amendments,
protocols, reservations and declarations, to the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region with effect from 1 July 1997.
IV. With respect to any other treaty not listed in the Annexes to this Note,
to which the People’s Republic of China is or will become a party, in the
event that it is decided to apply such treaty to the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region, the Government of the Peoples Republic of China
will carry out separately the formalities for such application. For the
avoidance of doubt, no separate formalities will need to be carried out by
the Government of the People’s Republic of China with respect to treaties
which fall within the category of foreign affairs or defence or which,
owing to their nature and provisions, must apply to the entire territory of a
State.

On February 7, 1974, Grenada became an independent state. In a note
dated August 19, 1974, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the
Prime Minister made a statement reading in part as follows:
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Grenada, having
attained Independence on the 7th February, 1974, and being conscious of
the desirability of continuing and maintaining existing International
Agreements which applied before Independence and being willing to
accept its obligations under International Law to honour its treaty
commitments, acknowledges that the many treaty rights and obligations
entered into by the Government of the United Kingdom in respect of the
Government of Grenada, were succeeded to by the Government of
Grenada upon the attainment of Independence and in accordance with
customary International Law and Practice.
2. It is desirous, therefore, that it be accepted that each treaty has been
legally succeeded to by the Government of Grenada and that actions
relating to all treaties be based on this succession until a decision is
otherwise taken and due notification communicated to the United Nations
and to the states signatories thereto in respect of any such particular treaty.
3. The Government of Grenada reserves the right to terminate the
operation of any such treaty succeeded to if it is desirable to do so. In such
circumstances due notice will be given of any such termination and in the
terms thereof.

GUYANA
On May 26, 1966, Guyana (former British Guiana) became an independent
state. In a letter dated June 30, 1966, to the Secretary General of the United
Nations, the Prime Minister of Guyana made a statement reading in part as
follows:
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Guyana, conscious
of the desirability of maintaining existing legal relationships, and
conscious of its obligations under international law to honour its treaty
commitments, acknowledges that many treaty rights and obligations of the
Government of the United Kingdom in respect to British Guiana were
succeeded to by Guyana upon independence by virtue of customary
international law.
2. Since, however, it is likely that by virtue of customary international law
certain treaties may have lapsed at the date of independence of Guyana, it
seems essential that each treaty should be subjected to legal examination.
It is proposed after this examination has been completed, to indicate
which, if any, of the treaties which may have lapsed by customary
international law the Government of Guyana wishes to treat as having
lapsed.
3. As a result, the manner in which British Guiana was acquired by the
British Crown, and its history previous to that date, consideration will have
to be given to the question which, if any, treaties contracted previous to
1804 remain in force by virtue of customary international law.
4. It is desired that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally
succeeded to by Guyana and that action be based on this presumption until
a decision is reached that it should be regarded as having lapsed. Should
the Government of Guyana be of the opinion that it has legally succeeded
to a treaty and wishes to terminate the operation of the treaty, it will in due
course give notice of termination in the terms thereof.

KIRIBATI
On July 12, 1979, the Gilbert Islands became the independent state of
Kiribati. Referring to the status of conventions, treaties and other
international instruments applied to, or entered into on behalf of the
Gilbert Islands by the United Kingdom prior to independence, the
Beretitenti (President) of Kiribati, in a note dated September 11, 1979, to
the Secretary-General of the United Nations, made a statement reading in
part as follows:
The Government of the Republic of Kiribati desires that questions of
succession to such conventions, treaties and other international instruments
be governed by accepted rules of international law and by the relevant
principles contained in the Convention on Succession of States in respect
of Treaties, done at Vienna on 23 August 1978. Accordingly, the
Government of the Republic of Kiribati declares that, with regard to multi-
lateral treaties applied or extended to the former Gilbert Islands it will
continue to apply the terms of each such treaty provisionally and on the
basis of reciprocity until such time as it notifies the depositary authority of
its decision with respect thereto. With regard to bilateral treaties applied or
extended to, or entered into on behalf of, the former Gilbert Islands, the
Government of the Republic of Kiribati declares that it will examine each
such treaty and communicate its views to the other State Party concerned.
In the meantime the Government of the Republic of Kiribati will continue
to observe the terms of each such treaty, which validly so applies and is
not inconsistent with its advent to independence, provisionally and on a
basis of reciprocity.

As regards bilateral treaties validly concluded by the Government of the
United Kingdom on behalf of the country formerly known as Basutoland,
or validly applied or extended by the said Government to the country
known as Basutoland, the Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho, it will
be recalled, willingly undertook to apply within its territory, on a basis of
reciprocity, the terms of all such treaties from the date of Independence
until October 4, 1970, unless abrogated or modified earlier by mutual
consent. That time has now expired before it has been possible to evaluate
all the treaties.
The Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho, mindful of the desirability of
the continuity of treaty relationships consistent with its independent status,
and desirous of continuing negotiations with the various States concerned
in relation to the possible continuation, modification or termination of such
treaties, has decided that the period during which it will apply, on a basis
of reciprocity, the terms of such bilateral treaties shall be extended without
limit of time, pending the reaching of a satisfactory accord with each State
concerned.
Nothing in this Declaration shall, however, be held to constitute a
succession to treaties which are not consistent with the accession to full
sovereign status by the Kingdom of Lesotho, nor shall it be held to
constitute an extension or renewal of treaties which, by virtue of their
termination clauses, have already expired or have been terminated before
the date of this Declaration.
Under the terms of the Declaration of the Government of the Kingdom of
Lesotho of 22 March 1967 it is not necessary to extend the period in
relation to multilateral treaties. As represented in that Declaration, the
Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho will review each of the
multilateral treaties which has been applied or extended to the country
formerly known as Basutoland and indicate to the depositary concerned
what steps it desires to take in relation to such instrument.
During this period of review, as stated in the Declaration of 22 March
1967, any party to a multilateral treaty which has, prior to independence,
been applied or extended to the country known as Basutoland, may, on a
basis of reciprocity, rely as against Lesotho on the terms of such treaty, the
Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho wishes it to be understood, as
stated in its Declaration of 5 March 1969, that this is merely a transitional
arrangement. Under no circumstances should it be implied that by these
Declarations of Lesotho has either acceded to any particular treaty or
indicated continuity of any particular treaty by way of succession.

international sovereignty. In accordance with usage, the Malagasy
Republic considers itself implicitly bound by such texts unless it explicitly
denounces them. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs the Embassy of
the United States of America that, in order to avoid any ambiguity, the

in which it declares itself bound by the Treaty, the Agreement or the
Convention under consideration.

MAURITIUS

MAURITIUS
On March 12, 1968, Mauritius became an independent state. In a note
dated March 12, 1968, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the
Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs made a statement reading
in part as follows:
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Mauritius,
conscious of the desirability of maintaining existing legal relationships,
and conscious of its obligation under international law to honour its treaty
commitments, acknowledges that many treaty rights and obligations of the
Government of the United Kingdom in respect of Mauritius were
succeeded to by Mauritius upon independence by virtue of customary
international law.
Since, however, it is likely that by virtue of customary international law
certain treaties may have lapsed at the date of independence of Mauritius,
it seems essential that each treaty should be subjected to legal examination.
It is proposed after this examination has been completed, to indicate
which, if any, of the treaties which may have lapsed by customary
international law the Government of Mauritius wish to treat as having
lapsed.
It is desired that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally succeeded
to by Mauritius and that action be based upon this presumption until a
decision is reached that it should be regarded as having lapsed. Should the
Government of Mauritius be of the opinion that they have legally
succeeded to a treaty but subsequently wish to terminate its operation, they
will in due course give notice of termination in the terms thereof.

MICRONESIA
A letter of November 2, 1995, from the Government of the Federated
States of Micronesia to the Secretary-General of the United Nations refers
to a letter of May 22, 1992,
... containing a declaration setting out the position of the Government of
the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) with regard to international
agreements entered into by the United States of America and made
applicable to the FSM pursuant to the United Nations Trusteeship
Agreement for the former Japanese Mandated Islands.
The Declaration stated that as to bilateral treaties validly concluded by the
United States on behalf of the FSM, or validly applied or extended by the
former to the latter before 3 November 1986, the Government of the FSM
would examine each such treaty and communicate its views to the other
State Party concerned. The Declaration also stated that the Government of
the FSM would continue to observe the terms of each treaty which validly
so applied and was not inconsistent with the letter or the spirit of the
Constitution of the FSM, provisionally and on a basis of reciprocity. The
period of examination was to extend until 3 November 1995, except in the
case of any treaty in respect of which an earlier statement of views was or
had been made. At the expiration of this period, the Government of the
FSM would consider such of these treaties that could not by the
application of the rules of customary international law be regarded as
otherwise surviving, as having terminated.
The letter of November 2, 1995, extends
... the period of examination of the bilateral treaties indicated above for
two additional years, or until 3 November 1997.
With regard to multilateral treaties previously applied, the Declaration of
22 May 1992 stated that the Government of the FSM intends to review
each of them individually and to communicate to the depositary in each
case what steps it would take, whether by way of confirmation of
termination or confirmation of succession or accession. During such period
of review, any party to a multilateral treaty that had been validly applied or
extended to the Federated States of Micronesia prior to 3 November 1986,
and was not inconsistent with the letter or spirit of the Constitution of the
FSM, may, on the basis of reciprocity, rely as against the FSM on the
terms of such treaty.”

NAURU
On January 31, 1968, Nauru became an independent state. In a note dated
May 28, 1968, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Chief
Secretary made a statement reading in part as follows:
Prior to Nauru attaining independence on 31st January, 1968, treaty
relationships were entered into, on its behalf, by the Government of the
Commonwealth of Australia. The Government of Nauru now wishes to
make clear its position in regard to obligations arising from those treaties
entered into prior to 31st January, 1968 by the Government of the
Commonwealth of Australia, and accordingly makes the following
declarations.
In respect of all bilateral treaties validly concluded by Australia on behalf
of Nauru, or validly applied or extended by Australia to Nauru, before 31st
January, 1968, the Government of Nauru will continue, on a basis of
reciprocity, to apply the terms of such treaties for a period of twenty-four
months unless such treaties are abrogated or modified earlier by agreement
with the other contracting parties. At the expiration of this period the
Government of Nauru will regard each such treaty as having terminated
unless it has earlier agreed with the other contracting party to continue that
treaty in existence.
It is the earnest hope of the Government of Nauru that during the
aforementioned period of twenty-four months, the normal processes of
diplomatic negotiations will enable it to reach satisfactory accord with the
States concerned upon the possibility of the continuance or modification or
termination of such treaties. In respect of multilateral treaties, the
Government of Nauru intends to review each of them individually and to
indicate to the depositary in each case what steps it wishes to take, whether
by way of confirmation of succession, confirmation of termination or
accession, in relation to each such instrument. During such period of
review, any party to a multilateral treaty which was, prior to independence,
validly applied or extended to Nauru may, on a basis of reciprocity, rely as
against Nauru on the terms of the treaty.” In subsequent notes to the
Secretary-General of the United Nations this period of review has been
extended indefinitely.

each of them. The statement will declare the Government’s view as to
whether the treaty continues or should be continued in force (on the basis

statement will be forwarded to the other party or parties or to the

reciprocity, accept all treaty rights and obligations accruing and arising

SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS
On September 19, 1983, Saint Christopher and Nevis became an
independent state. In a note dated November 2, 1983, to the Secretary-
General of the United Nations, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign
Affairs made a statement reading in part as follows:
I have the honor to refer to the attainment of in-dependence by the former
British Associated State of St. Christopher and Nevis on 19th September,
1983, as Saint Christopher and Nevis or Saint Kitts and Nevis, and to the
question of status of conventions, treaties and other international
instruments applied to, or entered into on behalf of Saint Christopher and
Nevis by the United Kingdom Government prior to independence.
The Government of Saint Christopher and Nevis considers that questions
of succession to such conventions, treaties and other international
instruments should be governed by the accepted rules of international law
and by the relevant principles contained in the Convention on Succession
of States in respect of Treaties done at Vienna on 23rd August, 1978.
The Government of Saint Christopher and Nevis hereby declares that, with
regard to multilateral treaties applied or extended to the former British
Associated State of Saint Christopher and Nevis, it will continue to apply
the terms of each treaty provisionally and on the basis of reciprocity until
such time as it notifies the depositary authority of its decision in respect
thereof.
As regards bilateral treaties applied or extended to, or entered into on
behalf of the former British Associated State of Saint Christopher and
Nevis, the Government of Saint Christopher and Nevis declares that it will
examine each such treaty and communicate its views to the other State
Party concerned. In the mean-time, the Government of Saint Christopher
and Nevis will continue to observe the terms of each treaty, which validly
so applies and is not inconsistent with its independent sovereign status,
provisionally and on basis of reciprocity.

On February 22, 1979, Saint Lucia became an independent state. In a note

Prime Minister made a statement reading in part as follows:
Saint Lucia … is now ready to participate with other nations in fulfilling
obligations under international law with respect to treaties to which this
Government succeeded 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 Saint Lucia wish:
(a) that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally succeeded to by
Saint Lucia; 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.”

SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES
392
SAINT VINCENT AND THE
GRENADINES
On October 27, 1979, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines became an
independent state. In a note dated September 30, 1983, to the Secretary-
General of the United Nations, the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance
made a statement reading in part as follows:
I have the honour to refer to the attainment of independence by the former
British Associated State of St. Vincent on 27th October, 1979, as the State
of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and to the question of status of
convention, treaties and other international instruments applied to or
entered into on behalf of St. Vincent by the United Kingdom Government
prior to independence.
The Government of the State of St. Vincent and the Grenadines considers
that questions of succession to such conventions, treaties and other
international instruments should be governed by the accepted rules of
international law and by the relevant principles contained in the
Convention on Succession of States in respect of treaties done at Vienna
on 23rd August, 1978.
The Government of the State of St. Vincent and the Grenadines hereby
declares that, with regard to multilateral treaties applied or extended to the
former British Associated State of St. Vincent, it will continue to apply the
terms of each such treaty provisionally and on the basis of reciprocity until
such time as it notifies the depository authority of its decision in respect
thereof.
As regards bilateral treaties applied or extended to, or entered into on
behalf of the former British Associated State of St. Vincent, the
Government of the State of St. Vincent and the Grenadines declares that it
will examine each such treaty and communicate its views to the other State
Party concerned. In the meantime, the Government of the State of St.
Vincent and the Grenadines will continue to observe the terms of each
such treaty, which validly so applies and is not inconsistent with its
independent sovereign status, provisionally and on basis of reciprocity.

I have the honour to inform you that Solomon Islands is now an
independent nation ready to participate with other nations in fulfilling
obligations under international law with respect to treaties to which this
Government succeeded 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 Solomon Islands wish
(a) that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally succeeded to by
Solomon Islands; 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.

SURINAME
On November 25, 1975, Suriname became an independent state. In a note
dated November 29, 1975, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations,
the Prime Minister made a statement reading in part as follows:
The Government of the Republic of Surinam, conscious of the desirability
of maintaining existing legal relationship, and conscious of its obligation
under International Law to honour its treaty commitments, acknowledges
that treaty rights and obligations of the Government of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands in respect of Surinam were succeeded by the Republic of
Surinam upon Independence by virtue of customary International Law.
Since, however, it is likely that by virtue of customary International Law
certain treaties may have lapsed at the date of Independence of Surinam, it
seems essential that each treaty should be subjected to legal examination.
It is proposed after this examination has been completed, to indicate
which, if any, of the treaties which may have lapsed by customary
International Law the Government of the Republic of Surinam wish to
treat as having lapsed.
It is desired that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally succeeded
to by the Republic of Surinam and that action be based upon this
presumption until a decision is reached that it should be regarded as having
lapsed. Should the Government of the Republic of Surinam be of the
opinion it has legally succeeded to a treaty but subsequently wish to
terminate its operation, the Government will in due course give notice of
termination in the terms thereof.

and within the powers of the United Kingdom derived from certain
instruments entered into between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of

bound by the treaty, and wishes to terminate the operation of the treaty, it
will in due course give notice of termination in the terms thereof. With
respect to duly ratified treaties which were entered into by the Kingdom of

TUVALU
On October 1, 1978, Tuvalu became an independent state. In a note dated
December 19, 1978, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the
Prime Minister of Tuvalu made a statement reading in part as follows:
2 The Government of Tuvalu, conscious of the desirability of maintaining
existing international legal relationships, and conscious of its obligations
under international law to honour its treaty commitments, acknowledges
that many treaty rights and obligations of the Government of the United
Kingdom in respect of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Protectorate, the
Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony and Tuvalu were succeeded to by Tuvalu
upon Independence by virtue of customary international law. Since,
however, it is likely that by virtue of that law certain of such treaties may
be said to have lapsed at the date of Tuvalu’s Independence, it seems
essential that each treaty purporting or deemed to bind Tuvalu before that
date should be subjected to legal examination. The Government of Tuvalu
proposes after such examination has been completed to indicate which, if
any, of the treaties which may be said to have lapsed by virtue of
customary international law it proposes to treat as having lapsed.
3 The Government of Tuvalu desires that it should be presumed that each
treaty purporting or deemed to bind Tuvalu before Independence has been
legally succeeded to by Tuvalu and that action should be based on such
presumption unless and until the Government of Tuvalu decides that any
particular treaty should be treated as having lapsed. Should the
Government of Tuvalu be of opinion that it has legally succeeded to any
treaty, and wish to terminate the operation of such treaty, it will in due
course give notice of termination in the terms thereof.
4 For the avoidance of doubt, the Government of Tuvalu further declares
that it does not regard itself as bound by the terms of any convention
creating an international organisation to the extent that such convention
requires the payment of any sum by any State, by virtue only of the
accession of the Government of the United Kingdom to such convention.”

ZAMBIA
On October 24, 1964, Zambia (former Northern Rhodesia) became an
independent state. In a note dated September 1, 1965, to the Secretary
General of the United Nations, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Zambia
made a Declaration reading in part as follows:
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Zambia, conscious
of the desirability of maintaining existing legal relationships, and
conscious of its obligations under international law to honour its treaty
commitments acknowledges that many treaty rights and obligations of the
Government of the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Rhodesia were
succeeded to by Zambia upon independence by virtue of customary
international law.
Since, however, it is likely that in virtue of customary international law
certain treaties may have lapsed at the date of independence of Zambia, it
seems essential that each treaty should be subjected to legal examination.
It is proposed after this examination has been completed, to indicate
which, if any, of the treaties which may have lapsed by customary
international law the Government of Zambia wishes to treat as having
lapsed.
The question of Zambia’s succession to treaties is complicated by legal
questions arising from the entrustment of external affairs powers to the
former Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Until these questions have
been resolved it will remain unclear to what extent Zambia remains
affected by the treaties contracted by the former Federation.
It is desired that it be presumed that each treaty has been legally succeeded
to by Zambia and that action be based on this presumption until a decision
is reached that it should be regarded as having lapsed. Should the
Government of Zambia be of the opinion that it has legally succeeded to a
treaty, and wishes to terminate the operation of the treaty, it will in due
course give notice of termination in the terms thereof.

On April 18, 1980, Zimbabwe became an independent state. In a note
dated February 24, 1981, to the Secretary General of the United Nations,
the Prime Minister made a statement reading in part as follows:
My Government will continue to apply within its territory, on the basis of
the principles of reciprocity and mutual respect for sovereign
independence, all
bilateral treaties validly concluded or recognised by the United Kingdom
Government in respect of Southern Rhodesia for a period of three years
from the date of independence, i.e. 18th April, 1980, unless such treaties
are terminated or modified earlier by mutual consent. It is the intention of
my Government during such period to subject all bilateral treaties to full
examination for the purpose of determining whether such treaties require
termination, revision or renegotiation in the light of Zimbabwe’s sovereign
status. It is the earnest hope of my Government that during the
aforementioned period the normal processes of diplomatic negotiation will
enable it to reach satisfactory accord with the States concerned upon the
possibility of the continuance, modification or termination of such treaties.
At the end of the three year period referred to above my Government will
regard such treaties whose continuance or modification have not been
agreed as having terminated.
As regards multilateral treaties validly concluded or recognised by the
United Kingdom Government in respect of Southern Rhodesia, my
Government pro-poses to review at least some of those treaties during a
period of six years from the date of independence, i.e. 18th April, 1980. It
will indicate to the depositaries in each case of review whether the
Republic of Zimbabwe will confirm, seek to modify or terminate its
obligations under the treaty concerned. During such period of review any
party to a multilateral treaty which was validly applied or extended to
Southern Rhodesia may, on the basis of reciprocity and respect for national
independence, rely on the terms of such treaty until it is modified or
terminated. At the expiration of the period of review treaties as modified,
or which have not been terminated, shall continue fully in force as if they
had been concluded by the Republic of Zimbabwe.
By note of April 14, 1983, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations,
the Government of Zimbabwe extended the period of review of bilateral
treaties to April 18, 1984. This period of review was further extended by a
note dated April 11, 1984, in which the Prime Minister notified the
Secretary-General that “… my Government will continue to apply within
its territory all such bilateral treaties until the 18th April 1985, unless
terminated earlier or modified by mutual consent. Thereafter my
Government will regard those treaties whose continuance or modification
has not been agreed upon as having terminated.”
In a further letter to the Secretary-General, received February 20, 1985, the
Prime Minister stated in part:
During the past four years my Government has re-viewed all such bilateral
treaties as were available to it or were brought to its attention and has also
concluded a number of bilateral treaties with other governments with the
effect that these instruments have superseded some of the earlier ones. It
has become evident to my Government that many contracting parties
prefer to enter into new arrangements with my Government rather than
revive those treaties whose operations might have been suspended or
terminated between 1965 and 1979 or which are now considered to be
obsolete in the conduct of present-day international relations.
Whilst it has not been practicable for my Government to re-negotiate and
finalise all such agreements on which a willingness to keep and maintain
them in force was mutually indicated by my Government and other
contracting parties, my Government has reached the stage at which it
considers that legal continuity between itself and Other Contracting States
has been achieved with an understanding either to revive, modify,
renegotiate, terminate or adopt such bilateral treaties and, accordingly, my
Government now wishes to inform Your Excellency, and through you all
Member States of the United Nations Organisation as follows:
All bilateral treaties that were validly concluded or recognised by the
United Kingdom Government in respect of Southern Rhodesia and
continued to be applied and respected by my Government pursuant to the
declaration aforementioned will now expire on 18 April 1985, UNLESS:
(i) Either my Government has already communicated to the other
contracting party its intention to maintain the continuance in force of the
treaty or the process of re-negotiating its terms and provisions has been
agreed upon; or
(ii) The other contracting party notifies my Government before 18 April
1985 through normal diplomatic channels of its intention either to keep
and maintain the continuance in force of the treaty concerned or to
renegotiate its terms and provisions, in which case, my Government will
consider itself bound by that Treaty.
The United States presented Zimbabwe by diplomatic note of April 17,
1985, a list of international agreements which the Government of the
United States intended to maintain in force.
