Deferred signature. It is more and more common, in the case of multilateral agreements, for the plenipotentiaries to sign the approved text separately. Usually, a relatively large number sign the convention on the day it is opened for signature. Thereafter, it remains open for a certain time to permit the governments concerned to study the text and to adopt it according to their special rules. [...] certain multilateral conventions remain open permanently to permit all states which may desire to do so to comply voluntarily with the rules which are laid down.  1, record 1, English, - deferred%20signature
