New Zealand Treaty List 31 March 1948 PREFATORY NOTE This list is the result of an examination of New Zealand's formal obligations and commitments. Some States find it a simple matter to list their formal international undertakings. The facts, however, of New Zealand's growth from a subordinate part of the British Empire to a fully self-governing member of the British Commonwealth of Nations introduce a complication, because certain agreements which New Zeahad no share in making might or might not be binding by " inheritance." To appreciate the nature of many of the older agreements recorded in this publication it is therefore useful to recall the stages by which the New Zealand Government shared increasingly in the making by the United Kingdom of agreements affecting New Zealand, and finally achieved the right to make its own international agreements. The starting-point may be taken as 1839, the year before New Zealand became a Colony, when, in accordance with the Durham report, certain matters were handed over to the control of the colonial Legislatures, but others were reserved to the Imperial Parliament as being of imperial rather than of purely colonial concern. Among these latter were control over external relations, including the negotiation of treaties and the appointment of diplomatic representatives. Nor was any change made at that time in the established practice that agreements concluded by the King on the advice of the United Kingdom Government automatically applied to the Colonies unless the agreement expressly provided to the contrary. In practice, however, the distinction between matters of imperial and colonial concern proved untenable, and colonial Governments found that to have no share in the conduct of their external relations was to have incomplete control even

of their domestic affairs. It was thus inevitable that the colonial Governments should move towards autonomy in the field of external affairs. The most important attribute of a self-governing State is the power to make agreements with other States. One aspect, therefore, of that growth to full nationhood of the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations which received final legislative recognition in the Statute of Westminster of 1931 has been the steady increase in their treaty-making power. To record only the stages in the growth of autonomy would, however, be to distort the pattern of development and to neglect an essential part of the experience of the British Commonwealth. Of equal importance has been the growth towards a form of unity at a more mature level. Independence in treaty-making has been accompanied by recognition of interdependence, expressed in the arrangements for prior consultation and consideration of the interests of other members. For this reason certain decisions of the Imperial Conferences of 1923, 1926, and 1937 should be noted; these decisions still hold and influence the contemporary practice of members of the British Commonwealth of Nations not only in treatymaking narrowly defined, but in the entire conduct of their international relations. I. THE GROWTH OF TREATY-MAKING POWER 1. Commercial Treaties So long as the Empire remained a single economic unit it was to be expected that commercial treaties concluded by the United Kingdom should automatically bind the Colonies. Towards the middle of the nineteenth century, however, the commercial interests of the self-governing Colonies were no longer always identical with those of the United Kingdom, and colonial Governments which had achieved freedom to make tariff and fiscal laws found that their legislation was liable to be rendered ineffective if it ran counter to international agreements made by the United Kingdom Government. As the result of their representations, certain colonial Governments secured a measure of independence in the negotiation of commercial treaties affecting their respective countries. Until 1865 their participation was limited to the association in a subordinate and advisory capacity of colonial representatives with representatives of the United Kingdom; in succeeding

years negotiations on such treaties came to be left more and more in the hands of the representatives of the self-governing Colonies. Certain elements of subordination remained, however. For example, agreements could be concluded only if " consistent with the general treaty engagements of the British Crown " (which in effect meant the Government of the United Kingdom) and if the prior approval of the Colonial Office and the Board of Trade was secured. At the Colonial Conference in 1887 the New Zealand delegate, Sir Francis Dillon Bell, asked permission " to bring before the Conference the expediency of extending to the Governments of Australasia the same privilege which has been repeatedly granted to Canada, of entering into negotiations with foreign countries, under the sanction of the Foreign Office and in concert with Her Majesty's Ambassadors or Ministers at other Courts, in matters of trade and commerce." Sir Francis indicated that this privilege would enable New Zealand to commence negotiations with France on the subject of exporting frozen meat. The suggestion was coolly received by the Conference and was dropped in the face of general opposition from other delegates. The privileges already granted to Canada were, however, extended to New Zealand and Australia by a resolution adopted at the Colonial Conference of 1894. (The usual sequence from this time was that increased treaty-making powers were established first by Canada, and, the principle having been conceded, extended to other mature Colonies). In 1907 the instructions contained in the despatch of 4 July to His Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Paris from the then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Sir Edward Grey, in reference to the negotiation by Canada of a new commercial treaty with the French Government, recognized that, in commercial treaties which were of purely Dominion concern, the principal negotiators should be Dominion representatives, who would, nevertheless, keep the United Kingdom Government advised of the progress of negotiations. The automatic inclusion of the self-governing Colonies in commercial treaties concluded by the United Kingdom came to be replaced by a provision which gave the Colonies the right to adhere to the treaty upon giving notice to that effect within a specified period. The last instance in which the Colonies were included without their consent in a commercial treaty was the Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between the United Kingdom and Servia in 1880.

This right of separate adherence, or " contracting in," was shortly to be followed by the complementary right of separate withdrawal, or " contracting out." This was found to be necessary when what must have been the unforeseen consequences of Article 15 of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Great Britain and Belgium of 1862 and Article 7 of the Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and Germany of 1865 later became apparent. These Articles provided that in the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty the produce of foreign States should not be subject to any higher or other import duties than the produce of the United Kingdom, nor should exports from those Colonies or possessions be subject to any higher or other duties than exports to the United Kingdom. The Colonies found that they were unable to grant to the United Kingdom any tariff concessions without those same concessions being available to Germany and Belgium and then to other countries by virtue of most-favoured-nation clauses in other treaties. It was not possible, therefore, to build up any scheme of Empire preference or establish an Empire tariff union as had been proposed by certain delegates at the Colonial Conference in 1887. The matter was again discussed at the Colonial Conference of 1897, and a resolution recommending the denunciation of these Agreements with Belgium and Germany was adopted. Formal notice of their desire to terminate the Agreements was then given by the United Kingdom to Belgium and Germany; the Agreements expired in 1898. The provision for separate withdrawal first appears in the Commercial Convention with Uruguay of 1899, which includes a clause permitting separate denunciation to be entered by the self-governing Colonies. (It will be seen that the rights of separate adherence and separate withdrawal in effect converted what had been bilateral treaties between the United Kingdom and another country into multilateral treaties. Many of the treaties listed in the bilateral section of this publication are of such a kind.) Nevertheless, the self-governing Colonies were bound by many treaties of long standing to which they had never consented and which were concluded at a time when it was not customary to make provision for their withdrawal. In this category is the Treaty of Commerce with the Argentine Republic signed at Buenos Aires in 1825, which is still in force and is considered to apply to New Zealand. In order

to facilitate withdrawal by the Colonies from such treaties the Imperial Conference of 1911 resolved " that His Majesty's Government be requested to open negotiations with the several Foreign Governments having commercial treaties which apply to the overseas Dominions, with a view to securing liberty for any of those Dominions which may so desire to withdraw from the operation of the treaty without impairing the treaty in respect of the rest of the Empire." New Zealand has already withdrawn from a number of commercial agreements between the United Kingdom and foreign Powers which might have bound this country by " inheritance." An instance is the Treaty of Peace and Commerce with Sweden signed at Upsala in 1654, from which New Zealand withdrew by exchange of notes at Stockholm in 1932. The last instance where the independent negotiation of commercial treaties seems to have been questioned occurred in 1922, when the Canadian Government were negotiating a treaty with the United States concerning the Halibut Fisheries. The Foreign Office, following the practice recognized in 1907 by Sir Edward Grey's despatch, proposed that full powers be issued to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington, together with the Canadian representative. The Canadian Government demurred, however, and maintained that " the treaty, being one of concern solely to Canada and the United States, and not affecting in any particular any Imperial interest, the signature of the Canadian Minister should be sufficient." The United Kingdom agreed, and the treaty bears the signatures only of the Canadian and United States representatives. The Dominions secured full control over the negotiation of commercial treaties when the Imperial Conference of 1923 approved the principle (already established in practice when the Halibut Fisheries Convention was signed) that bilateral treaties imposing obligations on one part of the Empire only should be signed by a representative of that part, and should not require the sanction of the Imperial Government. In 1928 New Zealand negotiated for the first time independently, an Exchange of Notes establishing a commercial modus vivendi between Japan and New Zealand. This Agreement became effective on 9 August 1928 ; it was denounced by an Exchange of Notes at Wellington on 27 and 28 July 1941. In those countries where the Dominions possessed no accredited representatives, however, United Kingdom plenipotentiaries

would continue on request to sign agreements on their behalf, it being agreed that the diplomatic service of the United Kingdom was available to members of the Commonwealth who are not separately represented in any foreign country. The technical knowledge and experience of the United Kingdom representatives would, moreover, continue to be made available to the Dominions at their request. The Conference of 1923 emphasized that the established principle should continue to be followed, that mutual consultation should precede the conclusion of a treaty by one member of the Commonwealth where the treaty was likely to affect the interests of other Commonwealth members. These understandings still hold. Although the practice prevailing after 1890 was to exclude the self-governing Colonies from commercial treaties negotiated by the United Kingdom, the advantage of most-favoured-nation treatment for its goods (often without some of the disadvantages of other Articles of the treaty) could be secured by a Colony which, without adhering to the treaty, accorded reciprocal treatment to the goods of the foreign Power concerned. This was achieved by a device known as the " nevertheless " clause, of which the following is a typical example: — " Nevertheless, the goods produced or manufactured in any of His Britannic Majesty's Colonies, Possessions, or Protectorates shall enjoy in Bulgaria complete and unconditional most-favoured-nation treatment so long as such Colony, Possession, or Protectorate shall accord to goods of Bulgarian origin or manufacture treatment as favourable as it gives to the similar produce or manufacture of any other foreign country." In 1945, however, the New Zealand Government advised the United Kingdom Government, which had sometimes been embarrassed in negotiation by the obligation to try to include a " nevertheless " clause for the benefit of the Dominions, that it desired the omission of such clauses from future commercial treaties negotiated by the United Kingdom. New Zealand would negotiate for a separate agreement if it were desired to secure similar benefits from the country in question. The development of treaty-making power therefore fell into four principal phases : replacement of automatic inclusion by the right of separate adherence, the right of separate withdrawal, the right to withdraw from treaties binding by

" inheritance," and the right of separate negotiation and signature. And, side by side with this growth to independence, came recognition of the value of prior consultation in cases where the interests of other members of the Commonwealth might be affected. 2. Technical Agreements Technical agreements, being non-political in nature and frequently not subject to ratification, are occasionally concluded between Governments on a departmental level. They correspond to French Arrangements Administrate/s. The Dominions have, from a very early date, been free to make technical agreements. In 1890, for example, a separate signature on behalf of New Zealand was appended to the Convention which established the Union for the Publication of Customs Tariffs, now superseded by the International Convention for the Simplification of Customs Formalities, to which New Zealand acceded on 29 August, 1924. 3. Extradition Agreements Extradition treaties negotiated by the United Kingdom applied automatically to the Dominions until as late as 1923. It later became customary, in treaties made between His Majesty in respect of the United Kingdom and a foreign country, to include a provision enabling His Majesty to accede in respect of a Dominion. An example of that practice is the Extradition Treaty with Finland of 30 A lay 1924, to which New Zealand acceded in 1925. When New Zealand accepted the Mandate for Western Samoa in 1921, most of the extradition agreements to which New Zealand was a party at that date were extended to Western Samoa by exchanges of notes between the New Zealand Government and the foreign governments concerned. 4. International Labour Conventions New Zealand has been a separate member of the International Labour Organization since its establishment in 1919, and free to ratify any of the 186 draft conventions. Of these, 31 have been ratified independently in respect of New Zealand ; they deal with such matters as hours of work, wage-fixing

machinery, conditions of maritime employment, social insurance, forced labour, protection against accidents, workers* compensation, minimum age for employment, and the right of association. Before a convention may be ratified by New Zealand appropriate legislation must be enacted and administrative action taken in order to ensure that the convention is fulfilled..

5. Political Treaties Because it was considered necessary to maintain the diplomatic unity of the Commonwealth in such matters as declarations of war and peace, recognition of foreign Governments and the conclusion of treaties of peace; because of adherence to the juristic conception of the indivisibility of the British Crown; and, fundamentally, because the United Kingdom carried almost alone the burden of Imperial defence, United Kingdom control over the negotiation of political treaties continued long after the Dominions had established the right to negotiate independent commercial and technical agreements. The Imperial Conference of 1911 recorded its opinion that the authority of the Imperial (i.e., United Kingdom) Government " in such grave matters as the conduct of foreign policy, the conclusion of treaties, the declaration and maintenance of peace, or the declaration of war and, indeed, all those relations with foreign Powers, necessarily of the most delicate character, which are now in the hands of the Imperial Government, subject to its responsibility to the Imperial Parliament . . . cannot be shared." The United Kingdom was thus the principal political negotiator on behalf of the Empire until the Treaty of Versailles of 1919The Treaty of Versailles marks a transitional stage; the two forms used for the Preamble and the form used in the Covenant of the League of Nations show this transition. In the Preamble the Dominions are not separately mentioned among the Allied and Associated Powers, being included in " The British Empire," which was named among the Principal Allied and Associated Powers. Nevertheless, in recognition of the contributions of the Dominions to victory, their representatives were included among the plenipotentiaries for the British Empire, the Preamble goes on to list the British Empire plenipotentiaries in this way, mentioning the Dominions separately (though they were not separate parties to the Treaty),.

but, significantly, not mentioning separately the United Kingdom r 1 His Majesty The King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India [Names of five representatives] And for the Dominion of Canada, by [Names of two representatives] for the Commonwealth of Australia, by [Names of two representatives] for the Union of South Africa, by [Names of two representatives] for the Dominion of New Zealand, by [Names of two representatives] for India, by [Names of two representatives]. Thirdly, the Annex to Part I of the Treaty, which set out the original members of the League of Nations, used the following form which seems to imply that the British Empire is the United Kingdom: British Empire Canada Australia South Africa New Zealand India As to ratification, the United Kingdom proposed that since Dominion Ministers had participated in the peace negotiations His Majesty (acting presumably on the advice of his United Kingdom Ministers only) might ratify the treaty on behalf of the British Empire without further consulting the Dominions. The Dominion Governments disagreed with this proposal, however, maintaining that signature by Dominion plenipotentiaries was not equivalent to the tendering of advice to the King by Dominion Governments to ratify the Treaty. The United Kingdom Government acceded to the Dominion point -of view, with the result that ratification, on behalf of the British Empire as a whole, was not effected until the Dominion -Governments had obtained the approval of their Parliaments. At the Imperial Conference of 1923 the procedure followed in the recent negotiation of the Lausanne Treaties was subjected to considerable criticism. These treaties were

1 The Imperial Conference of 1926 resolved that this practice " while suggesting that the Dominions were not on a footing of equality with the United Kingdom as participants in the treaties in question, tends to obscurity and misunderstanding and is generally unsatisfactory." It therefore recommended that the members of the British Commonwealth on behalf of which future treaties (in Heads of State form) were signed should be grouped to show separately Great Britain and Northern Ireland and all parts of the British Empire which are not separate members of the League, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Irish Free State, India. A specimen form of treaty, as recommended, appears as an annex to the Report of the Conference. See pp. 13, 14, and 18 of the Report of the Imperial Conference 1926 (App. H.R., 1927, A-6).

negotiated and signed solely by the United Kingdom representatives, and ratification was effected with the concurrence of all Dominions (except Canada 1 ) by His Majesty as High Contracting Party on behalf of the British Empire. As a result of the discussions at the Conference agreement was reached on the principles which should govern Imperial treatymaking. These principles, supplemented by the understandings of the Imperial Conferences of 1926 and 1937, still hold; they (especially the principles regarding negotiation) are the formal base from which stems the comprehensive system of intra-Commonwealth consultation and exchange of information. The three sets of principles which follow illustrate again the ability of the Commonwealth to reconcile independence and interdependence. First, as to negotiation, the 1923 Imperial Conference agreed: " {a) It is desirable that no treaty should be negotiated by any of the Governments of the Empire without due consideration of its possible effect on other parts of the Empire, or, if circumstances so demand, on the Empire as a whole. (b) Before negotiations are opened with the intention of concluding a treaty, steps should be taken to ensure that any of the other governments of the Empire likely to be interested are informed, so that, if any such government considers that its interests would be affected, it may have an opportunity of expressing its views, or, when its interests are intimately involved, of participating in the negotiations. (c) In all cases where more than one of the governments of the Empire participates in the negotiations, there should be the fullest possible exchange of views between those governments before and during the negotiations. In the case of treaties negotiated at International Conferences, where there is a British Empire Delegation, on which, in accordance with the now established practice, the Dominions and India are separately represented, such representation should also be utilized to attain this object. (d) Steps should be taken to ensure that those governments of the Empire whose representatives are not participating in the negotiations should, during their progress, be kept informed in regard to any points arising in which they may be interested." Secondly, as to the signature of treaties, the Imperial Conference agreed that: (a) Bilateral treaties imposing obligations on one part of the Empire only should be signed by a representative of the Government of that part. The Full Power issued to such representative should indicate

1 Although the Canadian Government did not approve the ratification of the Lausanne Treaties, 1923, it was nevertheless understood that ratification by His Majesty on behalf of the British Empire would in that case also bind Canada.

the part of the Empire in respect of which the obligations are to be undertaken, and the preamble and text of the treaty should be so worded as to make its scope clear. (b) Where a bilateral treaty imposes obligations on more than one part of the Empire, the treaty should be signed by one or more plenipotentiaries on behalf of all the Governments concerned. (c) As regards treaties negotiated at International Conferences, the existing practice of signature by plenipotentiaries on behalf of all the Governments of the Empire represented at the Conference should be continued, and the Full Powers should be in the form employed at Paris and Washington. Thirdly, as to ratification, it was agreed that the existing practice should be maintained. The existing practice was stated to be as follows : (a) The ratification of treaties imposing obligations on one part of the Empire is effected at the instance of the Government of that part. (b) The ratification of treaties imposing obligations on more than one part of the Empire is effected after consultation between the Governments of those parts of the Empire concerned. It is for each Government to decide whether Parliamentary approval or legislation is required before desire for, or concurrence in, ratification is intimated by that Government. At the London Reparations Conference in 1924 the procedure agreed upon at the Imperial Conference of 1923 was varied on the ground that separate representation by the Dominions would result in Commonwealth representation outnumbering that of all other foreign Governments present. As a compromise Dominion representatives were associated in a single Empire Delegation on the panel system. But this practice was not repeated. As the Dominions were not represented at the negotiation of the Locarno Treaty in 1925 it was desired that they be excluded from the obligations under the treaty. To this end the following Article (Article 9) was included in the treaty: The present Treaty shall impose no obligation on any of the British Dominions or upon India unless the Government of such Dominion or of India signifies its acceptance thereof. The principle embodied in that Article came, however, to be regarded as so obvious that this practice fell into disuse. The Imperial Conference of 1926 adopted the following rule as to the negotiation of treaties. (The very wide sense in which the word " negotiation " is used will be noted.) : This rule should be understood as applying to any negotiations which any Government intends to conduct so as to leave it to the other Governments to say whether they are likely to be interested.

When a Government has received information of the intention of any other Government to conduct negotiations, it is incumbent upon it to indicate its attitude with reasonable promptitude. So long as the initiating Government receives no adverse comments and so long as its policy involves no active obligations on the part of the other Governments, it may proceed on the assumption that its policy is generally acceptable. It must, however, before taking any steps which might involve the other Governments in any active obligations, obtain their definite assent. Where by the nature of the treaty it is desirable that it should be ratified on behalf of all the Governments of the Empire, the initiating Government may assume that a Government which has had full opportunity of indicating its attitude and has made no adverse comments will concur in the ratification of the treaty. In the case of a Government that prefers not to concur in the ratification of a treaty unless it has been signed by a plenipotentiary authorized to act on its behalf, it will advise the appointment of a plenipotentiary so to act. The Imperial Conference of 1937 recognized, as regards the nature and effect of the participation of members of the British Commonwealth in a multilateral treaty, (i) That each member of the Commonwealth takes part in such a treaty as an individual entity, and, in absence of express provision in the treaty to the contrary, is in no way responsible for the obligations undertaken by another member. (ii) That the form agreed upon for such treaties at the 1926 Conference accords with this position. 1 11. CONTEMPORARY PROCEDURE The Dominions now participate in treaty-making on a footing of complete equality with the United Kingdom, and have in many respects developed distinctive procedures of their own. The principles adopted by the Imperial Conferences of 1923, 1926, and 1937, set out above, should be read as the framework in which are set the more formal details of treatymaking procedure which are summarized in the remainder of this note. Treaty-making procedure usually follows the traditional division of treaties into agreements between Heads of States (in the case of New Zealand, the King) and agreements between Governments. No sharp line divides the subjectmatter of the two forms, which are equally binding, but in more recent times inter-governmental agreements have usually

1 The footnote on p. n refers to the form of treaty agreed upon at the Imperial Conference of 1926.

been of a technical and administrative nature, while agreements between Heads of States have dealt with matters of exceptional importance, such as the conclusion of political alliances or the cession of territory. 1 It will be noted, however, that the Charter of the United Nations and the Treaties of Peace with Italy, Hungary, Roumania, Bulgaria, and Finland are not in the Heads of State form, which may be taken as indication that this form of agreement is losing its significance. 1. Heads of State Agreements (i) Negotiation and signature In the case of Heads of States agreements His Majesty is the high contracting party on behalf of New Zealand. Full Powers are prepared and, since New Zealand does not yet possess a separate Great Seal, sealed in the United Kingdom with the Great Seal of the Realm. (To use this Seal it is necessary for a Royal Warrant signed by His Majesty and counter-signed by the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations to be delivered to the Lord Chancellor authorizing him to affix the Great Seal of the Realm, of which he has custody, to the document. The Royal Warrant authorizing the affixing of the Great Seal is so worded as to indicate that His Majesty is acting on the advice of his Ministers in the particular Dominion concerned. The intervention of United Kingdom Ministers is purely formal.) The Full Powers are then delivered to the plenipotentiary charged with negotiating the treaty. (ii) Ratification Similar constitutional procedure is followed by the New Zealand Government in the preparation and sealing of Instruments of Ratification under Heads of States treaties. The last occasion on which New Zealand was included in a single Instrument of Ratification under the signature of His Majesty as high contracting party on behalf of the British Empire was the Treaty of Peace with Turkey signed at Lausanne in 1923. Since that date the practice has been to deposit a separate ratification on behalf of New Zealand.

1 The various names given to treaties {e.g., treaty, agreement, convention, accord, exchange of notes, modus vivendi, protocol, &c), have little significance. All, once concluded, have equal weight.

2. Inter-governmental Agreements (i) Negotiation and Signature The Government, not His Majesty, is the contracting party in these agreements. Credentials are issued under the signature and seal of the Minister of External Affairs. These credentials may be conveniently referred to as " Governmental Full Powers," to distinguish them from " Royal Full Powers." Though the Full Powers normally authorize a plenipotentiary to sign any agreement resulting from the negotiations, such agreement —if it provides for ratifiction—is no more than a projet and signature of it does not in itself commit the Government to carry out the agreement or even necessarily to ratify it. (ii) Ratification In the case of those agreements which are subject to ratification the necessary instruments of ratification are issued under the signature and seal of the Minister of External Affairs. If, however, an agreement involves a charge on the revenue or a change in the domestic law, legislation is required to give effect to its provisions. A development in New Zealand is illustrated by the procedure followed in the case of the Treaties of Peace with Italy, Roumania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Finland. Before the Executive Council was asked to issue an Order in Council authorizing the Minister of External Affairs to sign and seal the ratifications the Government introduced into each House of Parliament a resolution approving ratification. 3. Cook Islands and Western Samoa All international agreements to which New Zealand is a party automatically apply to the Cook Islands, which- are within the boundaries of New Zealand as defined by an Order in Council under the Colonial Boundaries Act, 1895 (Imperial). If a treaty is to cover the trust territory of Western Samoa its operation must be specifically extended.

111. REGISTRATION OF TREATIES WITH THE UNITED NATIONS Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations provides that every international agreement entered into by any member of the United Nations after the coming into force of the Charter (24th October 1945) shall be registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations and published by it. The policy of " open diplomacy " embodied in the Covenant of the League of Nations which required members to register their international agreements has thus been continued by the United Nations, who have also taken over the 4,834 treaties and conventions registered by the League of Nations. The assistance of the United Nations or any of its specialized agencies may not be invoked in connection with an agreement which has not been registered in accordance with the provisions of Article 102. The obligation to register rests on all parties, but as a matter of convenience registration will no doubt be effected by the party which is the depository of ratifications or on whose territory the exchange takes place. IV. ARRANGEMENT OF THE TREATY LIST The agreements included in this list have been divided into two sections —first, bilateral agreements, arranged in alphabetical order by countries ; and, secondly, multilateral agreements, arranged in chronological order. The international agreements shown in this publication are those which seem to affect New Zealand as at 31 March 1948. It has been provisionally assumed that all agreements concluded by the United Kingdom before New Zealand was granted the power to negotiate and sign international agreements and from which New Zealand has not withdrawn, are binding on New Zealand by " inheritance."
