Article 96: International Treaties and Agreements
The negotiating and signing of all international agreements is the responsibility of the national executive acting through the President or such Minister as may be authorized.
An international agreement binds the Republic only after it has been approved by resolution of Parliament, unless it is an agreement referred to in paragraph (3).
An international agreement of a technical, administrative, or executive nature, or an agreement which does not require either ratification or accession, entered into by the national executive, binds the Republic without approval by Parliament, but must be tabled before Parliament within a reasonable time.
Any international agreement becomes law in the Republic only when it is enacted into law by national legislation; provided, however, that a self-executing provision of an agreement that has been approved by Parliament shall be law in the Republic unless it is inconsistent with the Constitution or an Act of Parliament.
