Ratification means

Question and options

Ratification means
  1. formal approval of a convention by a State
  2. acceptance of a recommendation
  3. signing a declaration
  4. None of the given options is correct

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - formal approval of a convention by a State
Ratification is the formal act by which a State, after signing, confirms its consent to be bound by a treaty or convention (Article 2(1)(b) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1969). Recommendations are not ratified, and signing is a separate, earlier step, so a correct option is given.
