Currently, the likelihood of international agreements being implemented by an executive agreement is ten times higher. Despite the relative simplification of executive agreements, the President still often chooses to continue the formal process of concluding an executive agreement in order to gain congressional support on issues that require Congress to pass appropriate enforcement laws or means, as well as agreements that impose complex long-term legal obligations on the United States. For example, the agreement of the United States, Iran and other countries is not a treaty. There are three ways to change an existing treaty. First, a formal change requires that States Parties be forced to go through the ratification process again. The renegotiation of the treaty provisions can be long and time-consuming and often some parties to the original treaty will not become parties to the amended treaty. In determining the legal obligations of states, a party to the original treaty and a party to the amended treaty, states are bound only by the conditions on which they have agreed. Contracts may also be amended informally by the treaty office if the amendments are procedural in nature, and technical changes in customary international law may also alter a contract in which the state`s conduct presents a reinterpreting interpretation of legal obligations arising from the treaty. Minor corrections to a contract may be accepted by a minutes; However, a minutes are generally reserved for amendments to correct obvious errors in the adopted text, i.e. where the adopted text does not adequately reflect the parties` intention to adopt it. A treaty is a formal and binding written agreement that is concluded by actors in international law, usually sovereign states and international organizations[1], but may involve individuals and other actors. [2] A treaty can also be described as an international agreement, protocol, treaty, convention, pact or exchange of letters. Regardless of terminology, only instruments that are binding on the parties are considered treaties of international law.
