    Depositary Notifications (CNs) by the Secretary-General (2001-present)
    Automated CN Subscription Service - Instructions

The depositary is required to provide treaty related information to all interested parties on the

treaties deposited with him. The Secretary-General, as depositary of multilateral treaties, provides this information by issuing depositary notifications.

    Certified True Copies (CTCs) of Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-      General

Since only a single original is established, it is the depositary's responsibility to prepare and transmit to the States concerned certified copies of the said original. This formality replaces the exchange of multiple original instruments that otherwise would have to take place between all the negotiating parties. The certified copies are normally used by Governments when submitting the agreement to their competent organs for whatever approval action is required under their particular constitutional procedures.
