Australian & International resources

  • Australian Treaty Database opens in a new window - can be searched by subject and lists all bilateral and multilateral treaties to which Australia is a party, as well as information about the treaty process and adoption into domestic law.
  • Australian Treaty Series opens in a new window - lists all treaties to which Australia is a party and links to the full text. It also includes other treaty resources such as links to treaties not yet in force, treaties under negotiation, and information about the adoption of treaties into domestic law - both the process and binding nature of the rights and obligations created by the treaty.
  • United Nations Treaty Series opens in a new window - the collection of treaties that have been deposited with the United Nations. These treaties tend to be multilaterla, and include treaties to which Australia is a party.
  • WorldLII's International Treaties Collection opens in a new window - includes multilateral and bilateral treaties from numerous countries. Please note that coverage can vary depending on the parties of the treaty, and the legal information institute (LII) that has provided the material.
