Depositary record

United Nations Treaty Collection

Acceptance is not ratification. It is a distinct act under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, and the depositary records it as such. The two are often written as though interchangeable; the record does not treat them that way, so neither does this page.

Where this sits

• 154 in order of becoming party
• 176 states bound in total
• Gene treaty adopted

Order is by the date the depositary records, and states that became bound on the same day share a position — eleven states became party to the Charter on 24 October 1945 and none of them was eleventh.
