- Abstract
- The final provisions of an international agreement rarely attract the attention they deserve. This is despite such provisions often determining the rules of engagement, as it is the case for the Council of Europe Istanbul Convention. Hence, it is necessary to shed some light on the Convention’s final provisions to identify how States or international organizations can become a party to it. The fact that the Istanbul Convention is an international agreement allowing for the accession of non-member States of the Council of Europe makes it even more important. This contribution will first describe the rules applicable to the signature, ratification and entry into force of the Istanbul Convention and provide a description of the current state of play. The second part of this contribution will focus on the accession of non-member States of the Council of Europe and of international intergovernmental organisations to the Istanbul Convention. This will be divided into a section on the possibility for non-member States of the Council of Europe to accede and a section on the specific case of the accession process concerning the European Union.
