signature

  
     
  The formal signing of the text of a treaty, usually by the heads of the delegations who have been entrusted with its negotiation. Treaties are often signed subject to ratification; but if the need for that procedure is not stated in the treaty, it may be assumed that the treaty becomes operative immediately, or as from the date specified in the treaty - in which case the signature is termed definitive. A treaty may also be signed ad referendum. See also adoption; full powers; initialling; plenipotentiary.
