Efforts to Promote Public Understanding of Treaty Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) produced and distributed A Guide to Treaty-making (in Korean), which was designed to promote understanding of treaty-making process among government agencies and local municipal entities, as well as legal scholars and students. This book included an overview of the treaty-making process and trend, as well as an explanation of the meaning and purposes of treaties, treaty-making procedures and matters to be dealt with at signing ceremonies. The guide book is also available on the MOFA website. Furthermore, MOFA gave presentations and lectures on treaty affairs to the staff of government agencies and local municipal entities to help enhance their understanding of treaties and agency-to-agency arrangements.
