When searching for information on treaties to which
the United States is not a party, the following sources
should be consulted:
Historical
Clive Parry, ed. Consolidated Treaty Series (JX120
P35, Level 4)
This is a collection of world treaties, with limited annotations,
in their original languages and existing translations
in English or French from 1648 to the beginning of the
League of Nations Treaty Series (approximately 1918 to
1920).
League of Nations Treaty Series (JX170 L4, Level
4)
Treaties of member and nonmember nations registered with
the Secretariat from 1920 to 1946.
Current
United Nations Treaty Series (U.N.T.S.) (JX170
U35, Level 4)
Beginning with 1946, this set contains the text of all
treaties registered with the Secretariat by its member
states, or filed and recorded by nonmember states or international
organizations. It is not as comprehensive as the United
Nations intended, especially for bilateral treaties. Cumulative
indexes are published for every 50 volumes of the Series.
The Series is currently published with a lag time of about
10 years and the Index with a lag time of about 15 years.
This publication is available in the United Nations Treaty
Database (http://untreaty.un.org/).
At the time of this writing a subscription is required
to use the database; contact a librarian or check the
library’s page for login information.
