The next step in becoming a party to the Convention or Optional Protocol is ratification. Ratification is a concrete action taken by States which signals the intention to undertake legal rights and obligations contained in the Convention or the Optional Protocol. Regional integration organizations express their consent to be bound by the Convention or Optional Protocol through “formal confirmation” – an act which has the same effect as ratification.
