Treaty is a generic term embracing all instruments binding under international law concluded between two or more international juridical persons. Thus, treaties may be concluded between: a. States (meaning countries, not U.S. states); b. International organizations with treaty-making capacity and states; or c. International organizations with treaty-making capacity. The application of the term treaty, in the generic sense, signifies that the parties intend to create rights and obligations enforceable under international law. The Vienna Convention 1969 defines a treaty as "an international agreement concluded between states in written form and governed by international law, whether embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related instruments and whatever its particular designation" (Article 2(1)(a)). Accordingly, conventions, agreements, protocols, and an exchange of letters or notes may all constitute treaties.
A treaty is essentially a settlement or an agreement arrived at by treating or negotiation. In international law the word 'treaty' has been used to cover a variety of international agreements. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969 is the codification of the practice of international treaty-making, which was previously regulated by the customary rules of international law. The Convention defines a treaty in the international context as an agreement whereby two or more nation states establish, or seek to establish, a relationship between themselves imposing binding obligations on themselves and governed by international law. (Mick Dodson, 'An Australian Indigenous Treaty: Issues of Concern' AIATSIS Seminar Series, 20 June 2001, at 15 December 2004). (For more detailed information click here)

Treaties are forms of international agreements in writing between or among states. These are some of the most important sources of international law. For example, bilateral treaties between two states establish mutual rights and obligations directly affecting the two states and no other states.

The process by which nations negotiate and enter into treaties is determined by the states involved in the process.
