Introduction to US Treaty Research In the United States, the term "treaty" is used specifically to refer to the small number of international agreements that require the advice and consent of the Senate before entering into force. In contrast, "executive agreements" do not require Senate consent.
Treaties and other international agreements are written agreements between sovereign states (or between states and international organizations) governed by international law. The United States enters into more than 200 treaties and other international agreements each year.
Treaties can be bilateral (between two states) or multilateral (between three or more states). Treaties can also include the creation of rights for individuals. Treaties are commonly called 'agreements', 'conventions', `protocols' or `covenants' , and less commonly `exchanges of letters'.
