Antarctic Treaty database

In this database you can find the text of measures adopted by the ATCM (including all Recommendations, Measures, Decisions and Resolutions) from 1961 to now together with their attachments and information on their legal status.

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the texts in the database, only the text of the printed version of the Final Report of the ATCM is the authentic text. You can find photographic copies of the printed version under “Final Reports” below.  The data contained in this database on Parties to the Treaty and the Environment Protocol and on the approval of Recommendations and Measures derive from the official data maintained by the United States State Department as Depositary of the Antarctic Treaty.
