The Australian Treaties Database

The Australian Treaties Database (ATD) is an on-line resource for researching treaties to which Australia is a signatory, or where Australia has taken other treaty action.

You can search by subject, date or keyword, or use a search 'strings', that is, several words separated by the word 'and' or 'or'.  Search results include links to the full text of the treaty.  All treaty texts are routinely added to the Australian Treaties Library on the Australian Treaties Library on the Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) database.

Use the links below or the toolbar above to navigate the website.

Treaty list by subject, agreement type and/or country; Treaty list by date treaty concluded; Treaty search by word(s); Treaties signed, acceded to, and entered into force; Multilateral treaty status sites and other information; and Information on treaties and treaty making.
