About treaties Show
Recent or pending treaties (Unofficial treaties)Locating a recent treaty text and determining its status can be tricky. There is no official publications of U.S. treaties before TIAS. Treaty status is hard to determine due to the fact that there are often three different dates: signed, ratified and entered into force. Check Treaty Actions for treaty status and actions. To further complicate the situation, unlike bills, treaties do not die at the end of a Congress. They can be stagnated for years, even decades awaiting for senate action. Check Treaties pending in the Senate for list of treaties awaiting Senate action.
