21.33A:CSB41
Constitutions, Charters, and Other Fundamental Laws
If a constitution, charter, or other fundamental law of a jurisdiction is
enacted by a jurisdiction other than the one governed by it, the rule provides for an
added entry under the heading for the jurisdiction enacting it, with a uniform title
added as appropriate under 25.15. Because this method provides for the needed access
point only when the main entry heading is the jurisdiction for which the constitution,
etc., was enacted but not when such a constitution, etc., is given as an added or subject
entry, the Library of Congress uniformly makes an enacting jurisdiction/uniform title
reference in an authority record for the govering jurisdiction/uniform title instead of
the added entry called for by the rule.
21.35A1:CSB41
International Treaties, etc.
In cataloging a treaty or other formal agreement between two or three
national governments, the rule provides for an added entry/added entries under the
heading(s) for the jurisdiction(s) not chosen as the main entry heading, with a uniform
title added as appropriate under 25.16B1. Because this method provides for the needed
access point(s) only when the main entry heading is for the treaty, etc., but not when
such a treaty, etc., is given as an added or subject entry, the Library of Congress
uniformly makes a jurisdiction(s)/uniform title reference (for the jurisdiction(s) not
chosen as the main entry heading) in an authority record or the jurisdiction/uniform
title (for the jurisdiction chosen as the main entry heading) instead of the added entry
called for by the rule.
21.35A2:CSB51
Treaties, etc., between four or more governments
In cataloging a treaty or other formal agreement between four or more
governments, the rule provides for added entries (in the form jurisdiction/uniform title)
under the signatory governments whenever the signatory is
1) the home government (i.e., the government of the cataloging agency), or
2) another government publishing the text of the treaty, etc., or
3) the government named first in the chief source, although it is neither
the home government nor another publishing government of the text.
Because this method provides for the needed access points only when the main
entry heading is for the treaty, etc., but not when such a treaty, etc., is given as an
added or subject entry, the Library of Congress uniformly makes jurisdiction/uniform
title references on authority records (for form see 25.16B1) instead of the added entries
called for by the rule. (See also LCRI 26.4B.)
If a treaty, etc., is the product of an international conference, named or
unnamed, the Library of Congress uniformly makes a see also reference leading from the
