Pillar of international relations
1269 BCE-
Hattusilis
III King of
the Hittites and Ramses II, Egyptian Pharaoh- lasting peace, territorial integrity, non-aggression, extradition, and eternal friendship (aww…)Treaty, convention, protocol, agreement, memorandum, accordRelations between bordering nations are often governed by treaties- Canada- US relationsBilateral (two party) and multilateral (multiple party)
TreatiesSlide4
1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties
1986 Convention on the Law of Treaties…
A treaty must follow a specific pattern: negotiation, signing, ratification and implementation
Treaties must be negotiated in good faith- invalid treaties: procured by threat or use of force in violation of the principles of international law…so what would you say about the Treaty of Versailles?
Can there be legal peace treaties when one party state has militarily defeated another?Basic Treaty-Law PrinciplesSlide5
Once the language of the treaty has been negotiated, the negotiators will then sign it.
This is a formal process and must be then brought back to the nation’s government where it must be
ratified
Canada: ratification can be done by the Cabinet- however there has become a new policy of reviewing treaties with the whole House of Commons
Once ratification is finished the nation must implement it. New legislation may have to be created or a simple acceptance of the head of stateProblems occur however when dealing with provincial and territorial interests (Kyoto)
