international agreement 国际协定 不同国家间缔结的条约或协议。国际协定是国际法的主要渊源，其效力主要及于缔约方而不涉及任何第三方。国际协定的形式繁多，除条约外，还有公约、协定、备忘录、议定书、宪章、盟约、换文及谅解备忘录等。国际协定的主要作用在于解决实际存在的或者潜在的纠纷或冲突，以及在不同国家间开辟合作和一体化的新领域，发展和编纂国际法。一些国际协定还意在为一些目标而创建地区性或国际性、全球范围内的组织，相当多的国际协定十分复杂，如1944年的布雷顿森林协定建立了国际货币基金组织〔International Monetary Fund〕、国际复兴开发银行〔International Bank for Reconstruction and Development〕和关税及贸易总协定〔General Agreement on Tarriffs and Trade〕。
