XVIII The Regulations also provide for the registration or the filing and recording and the publication of any subsequent action which effects a change in the Parties to a treaty or agreement, or the terms, scope, or application thereof. Subsequent action mainly signifies ratifications, later accessions, extensions, notices of denunciation, etc.

The two annexes A and B to the volumes of the United Nations treaty series are devoted respectively to the publication of additional information relating to an agreement or treaty which has been registered, or which has been filed and recorded.

Furthermore, in accordance with a decision of the General Assembly of the United Nations of 12 February 1946 and with a decision of the League of Nations Assembly of 18 April 1946, the United Nations has assumed the custody of the originals of treaties, conventions, agreements, and other international instruments formerly entrusted to the League of Nations, and of certain functions of the Secretariat in connection therewith.

The Secretariat of the United Nations has therefore had to record in the registers of the League of Nations the subsequent action affecting the above agreements and conventions.

This additional information will be published in Annex C of the volumes of the present series.
