Depositary record

United Nations Treaty Collection

Succession is not ratification. A successor state declares itself bound by a treaty its predecessor had joined, which is why the date can precede the state itself. The two are often written as though interchangeable; the record does not treat them that way, so neither does this page.

Where this sits

• 161 in order of becoming party
• 191 states bound in total
• Base 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.
