Issues the instrument

Depositary and publisher of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and the single market material built on it.

An instrument published here takes legal effect on publication. This is where the law becomes the law.

Cannot be cited for

It must not be cited for what a member state's law actually is. The treaty binds states rather than conferring rights a reader can exercise at a counter, and its establishment articles have no implementing provision in at least one member we have read. Our capture of the treaty also has irregular article headings, so no negative claim about its contents may rest on it.
