Each person receives one vote. Voting must be by secret ballot. The collective agreement is considered “ratified” by all collective agreements if a majority (50% +1) of voters accepts the conditions of the provisional collective agreement. A treaty is negotiated by a group of countries, either by an organization created for that specific purpose or by an existing body such as the United Nations (UN) Disarmament Council. The negotiation process can take several years, depending on the topics covered and the number of participating countries. At the end of the negotiations, the contract will be signed by representatives of the governments concerned.
