Yesterday, the President transmitted to the Senate, for its advice and consent to ratification, the International Convention for Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. The transmittal package (Treaty Doc. 110-4) is here. Pursuant to its Article 25, the Convention went into force for States Parties on July 7, thirty days following the deposit of the twenty-second instrument of ratification. David P. Fidler (Indiana, Bloomington - Law) posted this backgrounder on the Convention last week.
