Complete preamble, closing and all supplied integral protocol/notes are retained separately and searchable within this source.

Publisher synthesis, not an authentic treaty instrument. MLI replacement text and explanations are retained; original boxes/layout are not reproduced. Authentic Convention and MLI texts take precedence.

Source authority, text completeness and currentness still require human review.
