Countries as treaty parties (IIC Instrument)

Capture treaty party names (including bilateral, model, and multilateral treaties), that refer to countries using the countryName element. Do not capture separators between country names (bullet points, semicolons, etc.).

/regGroup/regMeta/country/countryName

/regGroup/regMeta/country/countryName/@ISOcountry

Capture the country name in the countryName element and set the optional attribute ISOcountry to the relevant ISO 3166 country code. If the country does not have an ISO code, for example because it ceased to be a country prior to 1974 when the ISO standard was introduced, please contact OUP. If a code cannot be assigned, omit the ISOcountry attribute.

Sub-topics

IIC Instrument country dates
A date within country is a date that applies just to that country. For example, a treaty may enter into force on different dates for different parties to a multilateral treaty. The headnote instructions should indicate which date goes in regDateGrp and which in country.
IIC Instrument related parties
Some treaties apply to parties other than the originals because the original party country has become a different country or set of countries. Capture these related parties inside subsequent country elements, with a relatedCountry element appearing after countryName.
