An international human rights treaty is a formal agreement between states that creates binding legal obligations upon ratification. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) are all examples of such legally binding treaties adopted by the United Nations. The Declaration on the Right to Development, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1986, is a declaration, which is generally not legally binding in the same way as a treaty, although it holds significant political and moral authority and contributes to the development of international law.
