U.S.–UAE 123 Agreement For Peaceful Civilian Nuclear Energy Cooperation

Treaties Concluded In 2009
A treaty is a formal, legally binding written agreement between actors in international law.

However, only documents that are legally binding on the parties are considered treaties under international law. Treaties vary on the basis of obligations (the extent to which states are bound to the rules), precision (the extent to which the rules are unambiguous), and delegation (the extent to which third parties have authority to interpret, apply and make rules). Treaties are among the earliest manifestations of international relations, with the first known example being a border agreement between the Sumerian city-states of Lagash and Umma around 3100 BC.
