Progress depends, crucially, on the strength of collective efforts to consolidate and advance the rule of law, in each country, and in international affairs. This booklet summarizes the objectives and key provisions of a selection from the over 500 multilateral treaties deposited with the Secretary General. Wider participation in these treaties, which address a range of global challenges, would help advance development, security and human rights. This is a bilingual publication in English and French.
