A
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is an informal record of a
non-legally binding arrangement between states on matters that are
considered unsuitable for inclusion in treaties. The terminology
used in MOUs is different from the terminology used in treaties. |

The
UK does not publish MOUs and does not register them at the UN. In
addition they may not be deposited at the National Archive until
many years later. |
