The common practice of signature ad referendum generally denotes that the signatory State is unable at the time to accept definitively the negotiated terms expressed in the treaty. It has also been interpreted as indicating that the plenipotentiary concerned had no definite instructions to sign, and no time to consult his government. If signature ad referendum be confirmed by the State concerned, the result is a full signature of the treaty.
