Agreement - Kyotei (English spelling) agreement

Japanese: 協定 - きょうてい（英語表記）agreement

In the broad sense, it is a special agreement between the parties. In the narrow sense, (1) in the Antimonopoly Act, it means a special agreement between the same trade for the purpose of excluding or restricting free and fair competition, and (2) in international law, it means a form of written agreement between international law subjects such as nations, international organizations, and warring groups. It is included in the broad sense of a treaty, but its nature and effect are not different from those of a treaty in the narrow sense. In general, an agreement is often used for agreements that are relatively less important than a treaty in the narrow sense. However, the name of an agreement is sometimes used for very important political agreements. For example, the name of an agreement was used in the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 and the Tripartite Pact between Japan, Germany, and Italy in 1940.

Japanese:

広義では，当事者間において成立する特殊の合意。狭義では，(1) 独占禁止法上は，自由かつ公正な競争を排除または制限する目的で同業者の間に成立する特殊の合意を意味する，(2) 国際法上では，国家，国際機構，交戦団体などの国際法主体の間の文書による合意の一形式を意味し，広義の条約に含まれるが，狭義の条約とその性質や効力は異ならない。協定は，一般的には狭義の条約よりも比較的重要でない合意の場合に用いられることが多い。しかし，非常に重要な政治的な合意の場合に協定の名称が用いられることもある。たとえば，1902年の日英同盟，1940年の日独伊三国同盟においては，協定という名称が用いられた。
