Abstract

The treaties which enlist the widest participation are those which establish international administrative unions or provide for co-operation on economic and social matters. Such treaties do not affect the balance of power, or any state’s “vital interests,” but they have a high value of mutual convenience. We will hereafter refer to them as “nonpolitical conventions.”1
