How are UK treaties published?
Once the
UK has ratified a treaty, the text is included in the United Kingdom
Treaty Series. The treaty is then published by The Stationery Office as
a Command Paper. The treaty will have a Treaty Series number and a
Command Paper number. For citation purposes, the Command Paper number is
more important.
