Summary
The chapter concerns steps to consider in preparing to become party to a treaty. It examines the eligibility of States and IOs to participate in multilateral treaties, including scenarios in which eligibility to join a treaty is not clear and what procedures may be used to resolve such issues. The chapter explains the importance of understanding ‘modes of expressing consent to be bound’, and choosing the appropriate mode. It looks at how a treaty may be made by exchange of instruments. Lastly, the chapter considers internal preparations to give consent to be bound for States and IOs, including consultations with stakeholders.
