Guideline 21
An attached instrument is an existing autonomous legal instrument. It is attached to the Act that confers additional legal effects on the attached instrument, generally by approving the attached instrument.
| 21.1. | An Act may attach another legal instrument (typically an international agreement) in order to make that instrument binding in the internal legal system of a State. | |
| 21.2. | An attached instrument is not preceded by the word ”Annex”, but such an instrument should have a proper title and should be organised as a normal Act. However in some jurisdictions an attached instrument should be titled as a schedule. | |
| 21.3. | An attached instrument may itself have annexes. This is typically the case for international agreement. | |
