Price $5.75 (Buckram) Preface United States Treaties and Other International Agreements is compiled and published in accordance with the Act of September 23, 1950, ch. 1001, § 2, 64 Stat. 979, which reads as follows: "Sec. 2. Title 1, United States Code, is further amended by adding, immediately following section 112 of such title, a new section, to be designated as section 112a, as follows: 'UNITED STATES TREATIES AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS: CONTENTS: ADMISSIBILITY IN EVIDENCE. § 112a. The Secretary of State shall cause to be compiled, edited, indexed, and published, beginning as of January 1, 1950, a compilation entitled "United States Treaties and Other International Agreements", which shall contain all treaties to which the United States is a party that have been proclaimed during each calendar year, and all international agreements other than treaties to which the United States is a party that have been signed, proclaimed, or with reference to which any other final formality has been executed, during each calendar year. The said United States Treaties and Other International Agreements shall be legal evidence of the treaties, international agreements other than treaties, and proclamations by the President of such treaties and agreements, therein contained, in all the courts of the United States, the several States, and the Territories and insular possessions of the United States.'" Prior to the publication of this compilation, treaties and other international agreements were printed in the United States Statutes at Large, which were and remain legal evidence of the treaties and other international agreements therein contained (1 U. S. C. § 112). A complete list of the treaties and other international agreements published in the Statutes at Large will be found in 64 Stat., part 3. Agreements are arranged in United States Treaties and Other International Agreements in the numerical order in which they are published by the Department of State in pamphlet form in the Treaties and Other International Acts Series (abbreviated in this compilation as "TIAS"). Some omissions may be noted in this numerical sequence. The agreements represented by missing Series numbers were formalized and entered into force prior to 1950 and have therefore been printed in the Statutes at Large. It is recommended that users of United States Treaties and Other International Agreements consult United States Treaty Developments, an authoritative publication of treaty annotations issued by the Department of State, for subsequent developments affecting treaties and other international agreements. It is suggested that this compilation be cited as "UST". Thus the appropriate abbreviated citation of the first document in this volume would be "1 UST 1". |
