RATIFICATION VERSUS ACCESSION IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSPOSING INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANISATION CONVENTION NO. 190/2019

Summary/Abstract: Ratification and accession procedures represent two distinct ways through which states become parties to international agreements or international organizations. The ratification process is primarily associated with treaties and international agreements, involving the formal approval of a treaty by the competent national authorities of a state, such as the parliament or head of state. This procedure confirms the state's commitment to respect and implement the provisions of the treaty. On the other hand, the accession procedure is specific to international organizations and involves the process by which a state becomes a member of such an organization. Accession usually entails the submission of an official application by the interested state, followed by its evaluation and approval by the existing members of the organization. This process may include compliance with specific criteria and may involve negotiations between the applicant state and the organization regarding membership conditions. Both procedures represent crucial stages in international relations, influencing the dynamics of collaboration and the involvement of states at the global or regional level.
