Treaties

What treaties are, and why Ask The Beagle cites them.

Our explanation

Treaties are agreements between states. Some, like the European Convention on Human Rights, have been given effect in UK law by an Act of Parliament, which is why an answer about rights sometimes cites a treaty article alongside legislation. The treaties in this corpus:

Convention on the Rights of the Child
European Convention on Human Rights
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
Protocol No. 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights
Protocol No. 13 to the European Convention on Human Rights
Protocol No. 16 to the European Convention on Human Rights
