Both are used in the names of particular agreements, often using the name of the place in which they were signed. * treaty和accord均指國家間的正式協定、條約,例如沖突之後恢複和平,或者貿易、軍事或經濟合作方面的。兩個詞均用於具體協定名稱,常以簽署地命名◆the Treaty of Rome《羅馬條約》◆the Algiers Accord《阿爾及爾協定》An accord can also be an official agreement between organizations, such as between a government and a trade union. A convention is an international agreement between several countries. It usually contains rules about a particular activity, for example the sale of weapons, the treatment of refugees or controlling pollution. Conventions usually try to control a problem which affects many countries, and by signing the convention a country agrees to apply the rules or standards within it. * accord亦可指組織之間簽署的正式協議,如政府和工會之間。convention是若幹國家簽署的國際協定,内容通常比較具體,例如武器銷售、難民安置或污染控制等。convention通常是爲了控制影響多國的問題,通過簽署協定,一國同意遵守其條例或標準。
