Corrections

At treatyandtalks, we correct errors rather than delete content. When a substantive error is confirmed in any of our reference pages, a correction note is appended to the foot of the article. This note states the nature of the correction and the date it was made, ensuring a transparent record for all readers.

A substantive correction is required for an error of fact, such as an incorrect date for a treaty signing, a misstated provision within an instrument, or an error in the description of an institution's mandate. Minor typographical errors, formatting issues, or grammatical corrections that do not alter the factual content are made without a published note.

To report an error, please provide the full web address of the article and quote the exact claim you believe to be incorrect, with a brief explanation and a reliable source for the correct information. We typically review and implement verified substantive corrections within five working days.

The factual reference pages on treatyandtalks, covering bilateral relationships, instruments, and institutions, are also updated when the world changes. This includes new treaty ratifications, the establishment of a fresh institution, or a major shift in a diplomatic relationship. Such updates are not corrections but routine revisions, integrated into the text without a correction note, to maintain the site's utility as a current resource.
