Regional instruments have their own membership, reservations and procedures. Their country-level status is not yet included in this atlas. Consult the official registers:

Sources, coverage & map notes

The atlas uses the public OHCHR Ratification Dashboard, retrieved 27 September 2026. It includes 18 UN human rights treaties and optional protocols. Reservations and declarations are not reproduced here; follow the official records before relying on a legal conclusion.

Map geometry and location markers use Natural Earth public-domain data. Small countries are marked by location. Boundaries are illustrative and imply no position on territorial status. Neither the map nor this independent project is endorsed by the United Nations.
