Multilateral treaty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A multilateral treaty is a treaty of which more than two states are parties. Each party owes the same obligations to all other parties, except to the extent that they have stated reservations.
A bilateral treaty may become a multilateral treaty when additional new parties succeed or accede to it.
Some examples are:
The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
