International Treaties and Agreements
|
Thanks to highly ambitious policies conducted by its Princes, Monaco has established itself on the international scene, notably through negotiating various international treaties.
Surrounded by French territory, the Principality signed its first bilateral treaty in 1641, thereby institutionalising the links of friendship between both countries.
Since then, Monaco has negotiated other bilateral treaties, particularly those concerning international extradition and judicial assistance with various countries.
Monaco has been a member of the United Nations Organisation since 1993 and consistently works towards promoting Human Rights, both through its accession to the Council of Europe on 5th October 2004 and its ratification of many agreements emanating from these international organisations.
NB: Since the revised Constitution of 1962, the international treaties presented in this section, published by Sovereign Order in the Journal de Monaco, only have effect vis-à-vis third parties from the day following the said publication.
