Countries (Signatory states)
"Countries (Signatory states)" are nations that officially agree to and adopt an international agreement or treaty. Being a signatory means a country has formally agreed to the terms, commitments, and rules outlined in the document. This often involves signing the treaty and may lead to ratification, where the country formally accepts and is bound by the treaty’s obligations. Signatory status indicates a country's support and intent to comply with the agreement, fostering international cooperation on issues like trade, environment, or human rights.
