Flare Index to Treaties
http://193.62.18.232/dbtw-wpd/textbase/treatysearch.htm

The Flare Index to Treaties is a searchable database of basic information on over 1,500 of the most significant multilateral treaties from 1856 to the present, with details of where the full text of each treaty may be obtained in paper and, if available, electronic form on the Internet. The Index includes only those treaties where there are three or more parties to the instrument. The selection has been based on entries in Multilateral Treaties: index and current status, compiled and annotated within the University of Nottingham Treaty Centre by M.J. Bowman and D.J. Harris (London: Butterworths, 1984, ninth supplement, 1992) – hereafter referred to as Bowman & Harris – and International Legal Materials (Washington, D.C., American Society of International Law, 1962-). While it would be desirable to create an index to all types of treaty the magnitude of the task may be illustrated by the fact that the World Treaty Index, compiled by Peter H. Rohn (Santa Barbara, California, 1984), covered all treaties signed between 1900 and 1980, yet comprises over 44,000 entries. Clearly, it is beyond the resources of the present project to bring that work up to date, so the Flare Index to Treaties includes only the most significant treaties, conventions and agreements with at least three parties. Bilateral treaties are not included. This has been added to International Trade Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
