	Clive  +  738461 Wed, 20 May 09 01:43 AM Hi, high contracting parties The representatives of states who have signed or ratified a treaty . From the point of view of international law it is immaterial where the treaty-making power resides (e.g. in a head of state, a senate, or a representative body): this is a question determinable by the constitutional law of the particular contracting state concerned. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1O49-highcontractingparties.html   Best wishes, Clive   Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,680 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo
