| | Treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The United Nations Charter states that treaties must be registered with the UN to be invoked before it or enforced in its judiciary organ, the International Court of Justice. | | | Treaties can be loosely compared to contracts: both are means of willing parties assuming obligations among themselves, and a party to either that fails to live up to their obligations can be held legally liable for that breach. | | | However, the Vienna Convention provides that states are not excused from their treaty obligations on the grounds that they violate the state's constitution, unless the violation is manifestly obvious at the time of contracting the treaty. |

| | In the case of bilateral treaties, ratification is usually accomplished by exchanging the requisite instruments, while in the case of multilateral treaties the usual procedure is for the depositary to collect the ratifications of all states, keeping all parties informed of the situation. | | | The instruments of "acceptance" or "approval" of a treaty have the same legal effect as ratification and consequently express the consent of a state to be bound by a treaty. | | | Unless the treaty provides otherwise, the deposit of the instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession establishes the consent of a state to be bound by the treaty. |

| | Questions and Answers about the Treaty of Waitangi |
| | Until the 1852 Constitution Act, the Treaty was regarded as operative and enforced in the courts. | | | Although the Treaty is also a contract, there is increasing concern that it is being taken into the narrow legal framework of lawyers, and the spiritual living element of the Treaty as a covenant is being ignored. | | | Yes, but like other treaties, the Treaty of Waitangi is not directly enforceable by the courts unless Parliament has so directed in an Act of Parliament. |
