NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT

Under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations every treaty and every internationalagreement entered into by any Member of the United Nations after the coming into force of theCharter shall, as soon as possible, be registered with the Secretariat and published by it. Further-more, no party to a treaty or international agreement subject to registration, which has not beenregistered, may invoke that treaty or agreement before any organ of the United Nations. TheGeneral Assembly by resolution 97 (I) established regulations to give effect to Article 102 of theCharter (see text of the Regulations, Vol. 76, p. XVIII).

The terms "treaty" and "international agreement" have not been defined either in the Charteror in the Regulations, and the Secretariat follows the principle that it acts in accordance with theposition of the Member State submitting an instrument for registration that so far as that party isconcerned the instrument is a treaty or an international agreement within the meaning of Article102. Registration of an instrument submitted by a Member State, therefore, does not imply ajudgement by the Secretariat on the nature of the instrument, the status of a party, or any similarquestion. It is the understanding of the Secretariat that its action does not confer on the instrumentthe status of a treaty or an international agreement if it does not already have that status, and doesnot confer on a party a status which it would not otherwise have.

0*0

Unless otherwise indicated, the translations of the original texts of treaties, etc., published inthis Series, have been made by the Secretariat of the United Nations.

NOTE DU SECRITARIAT

Aux termes de l'Article 102 de la Charte des Nations Unies, tout traiti ou accord internationalconclu par un Membre des Nations Unies aprs l'entre en vigueur de la Charte sera, le plus t6tpossible, enregistr6 au Secritariat et publi6 par lui. De plus, aucune partie un trait6 ou accordinternational qui aurait dil etre enregistr6 mais ne l'a pas t ne pourra invoquer ledit trait6 ou accorddevant un organe des Nations Unies. Par sa r~solution 97 (I), l'Assemblie g6n~rale a adopt6un rfglement destin6 ik mettre en application l'Article 102 de la Charte (voir texte du r~glement,vol. 76, p. XIX).

Le terme t trait6 s et l'expression s accord international * n'ont 4t6 d~finis ni dans Ia Charteni dans le riglement, et le Secretariat a adopt6 comme principe de s'en tenir & la position adopt~eA cet 6gard par l'tat Membre qui a prsent& l'instrument A l'enregistrement, A savoir que pourautant qu'il s'agit de cet ttat comme partie contractante l'instrument constitue un trait6 ou unaccord international au sens de l'Article 102. I1 s'ensuit que l'enregistrement d'un instrumentpr~sent6 par un Ftat Membre n'implique, de la part du Secretariat, aucun jugement sur la naturede l'instrument, le statut d'une partie ou toute autre question similaire. Le Secrtariat considiredonc que lea actes qu'il pourrait etre amen6 A accomplir ne conf~rent pas it un instrument la qualit6de * trait6 * ou d'4 accord international * si cet instrument n'a pas d6jh cette qualit6, et qu'ils neconf~rent pas A une partie un statut que, par ailleurs, elle ne possderait pas.

Sauf indication contraire, les traductions des textes originaux des traits, etc., publi~s dans ceRecuedi, ont 6t6 6tablies par le Secretariat de l'Organisation des Nations Unies.
