Label an explicitly recorded treaty action without determining international legal status.

Loading tool…

Description

Label a recorded treaty action such as accession, ratification or signature.

Treaty and diplomatic records separate action labels, recorded conditions, versions, source locators and financial contributions. A set of true condition flags differs from a verified legal act or entry into force. Dates and translations need the authoritative record and applicable definitions before legal interpretation.

Label a recorded treaty action such as accession, ratification or signature.

When to use this tool

Use Treaty Accession Versus Ratification Code when you already have recordId, recordedAction and need to label a recorded treaty action such as accession, ratification or signature.

How to use the tool and how it works

  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

{
  "input": {

    "recordedAction": "accession"
  },
  "output": {
    "label": "R17 [accession]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The action is supplied; no treaty status, valid act, effective date or legal consequence is determined.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Check the original treaty, notice, authentic text and status record when assessing an obligation or effective act. Reconcile full contribution ledgers and condition evidence; a local count, share or source-qualified key does not establish legal effect.
