International Instruments
International instruments are documents that have been written at an international level, governing the relationships between two or more nation states, such as the United Nations Convention on Human Rights or the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1947. They are often treaties, although this category also includes non-treaties.
OUP's XML distinguishes sub-types of international instruments.
If you encounter an international instrument that appears to be a Treaty, Agreement,
Convention, Charter, Covenant, or Protocol but the type is not clear, choose Treaty
.
