NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT
Under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations every treaty and every international agreement en-tered into by any Member of the United Nations after the coming into force of the Charter shall, as soon as possi-ble, be registered with the Secretariat and published by it. Furthermore, no party to a treaty or internationalagreement subject to registration which has not been registered may invoke that treaty or agreement before anyorgan of the United Nations. The General Assembly, by resolution 97 (1), established regulations to give effect toArticle 102 of the Charter (see text of the regulations, vol. 859, p.,VIII).
The terms "treaty" and "international agreement" have not been defined either in the Charter or in the regu-lations, and the Secretariat follows the principle that it acts in accordance with the position of the Member Statesubmitting an instrument for registration that so far as that party is concerned the instrument is a treaty or an in-ternational agreement within the meaning of Article 102. Registration of an instrument submitted by a MemberState, therefore, does not imply a judgement by the Secretariat on the nature of the instrument, the status of a partyor any similar question. It is the understanding of the Secretariat that its action does not confer on the instrumentthe status of a treaty or an international agreement if it does not already have that status and does not confer on aparty a status which it would not otherwise have.
Unless otherwise indicated, the translations of the original texts of treaties, etc., published in this Series havebeen made by the Secretariat of the United Nations.
NOTE DU SECRE-TARIAT
Aux termes de lArticle 102 de la Charte des Nations Unies, tout trait6 ou accord international conclu par unMembre des Nations Unies aprrs I'entrre en vigueur de la Charte sera, le plus t6t possible, enregistr& au Secretariatet publi& par lui. De plus, aucune partie A un trait6 ou accord international qui aurait dfi Etre enregistr6 mais ne l'apas &6 ne pourra invoquer ledit trait6 ou accord devant un organe des Nations Unies. Par sa resolution 97 (1), l'As-semblre gdn&rale a adopt6 un riglement destin& mettre en application I'Article 102 de la Charte (voir texte dur~glement, vol. 859, p. IX).
Le terme < trait6 > et l'expression < accord international > nont W drfinis ni dans la Charte ni dans le r~gle-ment, et le Secretariat a pris comme principe de s'en tenir A la position adoptre A cet 6gard par l'Etat Membre quia prrsent6 l'instrument l'enregistrement, A savoir que pour autant qu'il s'agit de cet Etat comme partie contrac-tante linstrument constitue un trait6 ou un accord international au sens de I'Article 102. II s'ensuit que lenregis-trement d'un instrument prrsent& par un Etat Membre nimplique, de la part du Secr&tariat, aucun jugement sur lanature de l'instrument, le statut d'une partie ou toute autre question similaire. Le Secretariat consid~re donc queles actes qu'il pourrait etre amen6 A accomplir ne conffrent pas A un instrument la qualit de (< trait6 > ou d'< accordinternational > si cet instrument n'a pas drjA cette qualit&, et qu'ils ne conferent pas A une partie un statut que, parailleurs, elle ne possrderait pas.
Sauf indication contraire, les traductions des textes originaux des traitrs, etc., publirs dans ce Recucil ont&t 6tablies par le Secretariat de l'Organisation des Nations Unies.
