Treaty series

A Treaty series is an officially published collection of treaties and other international agreements.

United Nations

The United Nations Treaty Series (UNTS) is by far the largest collection of treaties, running to some 2200 volume containing 158,000 treaties from 1946. Its predecessor was the League of Nations Treaty Series (LNTS).

United States

Treaties and international agreements were formally published in "Statutes at Large" (Stat.) until 1948. The Department of State also published a number of collection relating specifically to treaties and other agreements:
*"Foreign Relations of the United States" (FRUS), published under various names since 1861;
*Treaty Series (TS or USTS), issued singly in pamphlets until 1945;
*Executive Agreement Series (EAS), issued singly in pamphlets until 1945.After 1948, agreements have been published as Senate Documents (T.Doc.), House Documents (H.Doc.) or in the Federal Register (F.R. or F.Reg.). The Department of State has published the Treaties and Other International Acts Series (TIAS) in pamphlet form to replace the Treaty Series and the Executive Agreement Series, and "United States Treaties and Other International Agreements", published annually from 1950. "Foreign Relations of the United States" continues to be published as a collection.For convenience, a number of private collections of treaties have also been published:
*"Treaties and Other International Agreements of the United States of America 1776–1949" (Bevans), compiled by Charles I. Bevans
*International Legal Materials (ILM) published by The American Society of International Law (ASIL) http://www.asil.org/resources/ilm.html
*"Treaties and other International Acts of the United States of America" (Millar), edited by Hunter Millar

United Kingdom

United Kingdom treaties and international agreements are published as Command Papers, along with a large number of other government documents. For ease of reference, Command Papers relating to treaties are given a second "Treaty Series" number, which is sometimes referred to as the United Kingdom Treaty Series (UKTS). For example, the Treaty on Open Skies was published as Cm. 5537, but also had the Treaty Series number 26 for 2002, abbreviated as [2002] UKTS 26.

Australia

Australian treaties are collected together in the Australian Treaty Series (ATS), starting with the Treaty of Versailles, [1920] ATS 1.
