Treaties in Force 2016

This publication lists treaties and other international agreements of the United States on record in the United States Department of State on January 1,2016 which had not expired by their own terms or which had not been denounced by parties, replaced, superseded by other agreements, or otherwise definitely terminated.

New features in this updated edition include a new, streamlined category system that organizes treaties by subject matter. To aid in transition of this new categorical system, a category crosswalk table listing the new categories alongside their older counterparts appears on page iii.

Each listing in this edition includes the identity of the depositary and, where available, an internet site address for depositary information. For multilateral treaties with depositaries, list of parties have been omitted. Current list parties for these treaties can be obtained from the depositary for the treaty in question.

This edition also reflects changes in format and listing practice for particular categories and instruments.

Treaties in Force is arranged in two sections. Section 1 includes bilateral treaties and other international agreements listed by country or other entity with subject headings under each entry.

Section 2 lists multilateral treaties and other agreements to which the United States is a party, arranged by subject.

International relations scholars, political scientists, and U.S. export company personnel and American citizens that travel abroad may be interested in knowing which countries the United States is engaged with an active treaty or international agreements. Students pursuing coursework for Modern World History or global studies classes in Advanced Placement high school, community college or undergraduate level or domestic and international law courses at the graduate school level may be interested in this reference.
