International agreements are formal arrangements between countries that outline their commitments and responsibilities on various issues, such as trade, environmental protection, and human rights. These agreements can take the form of treaties, conventions, or accords and are designed to promote cooperation and resolve conflicts between nations. Countries often negotiate these agreements through diplomatic discussions and may involve international organizations like the United Nations or World Trade Organization. Once agreed upon, countries typically ratify these agreements, making them legally binding and ensuring that all parties adhere to the established terms.
