Eight position papers expand on the treaty's approach in specific domains. Where the treaty text establishes principles in brief articles, the position papers provide the reasoning, implementation detail, and comparative analysis behind each area of policy. They are not legally binding in the same way as the treaty text and annexes, but they represent the founding intent of the treaty's principals.
