ARTICLE XIX

Article XIX provides standard provisions from international law for registration of the Treaty pursuant to Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations. The decision to place geographic coordinates (which will not be released to the public) in a separate agreement, and to append site diagrams (which are also not released to the public) to that separate agreement, avoids the need to preserve any part of the Treaty as confidential. Thus the entire Treaty, including all Protocols and Annexes and the Memorandum of Understanding, can be registered with the United Nations.

FINAL PROVISION 6 The final paragraph of the Treaty records that the Treaty was done at Moscow on July 31, 1991, in two copies, each in the English and Russian languages, both texts being equally authentic.
