Treaties and Agreements

Treaties and agreements are formal arrangements made between countries to work together on specific issues, like trade, security, or environmental protection. They are written, legally binding contracts that establish rights and responsibilities for each party. Treaties are usually more formal and require approval from government authorities, like a parliament or congress, before becoming official. Agreements can be less formal but still reflect mutual understanding and commitment. These instruments help countries cooperate, resolve disputes, and formalize international relationships, ensuring that all parties follow agreed-upon rules for mutual benefit.
