4. What treaties are related to a particular subject (using keywords assigned by IUCN)

Step 1: Select "treaty locator" from the selection of links on the top left of any screen.

Step 2: On the treaty locator, make a selection from the "Search Subject" drop down menu. The items in this menu are the actual keywords assigned by the IUCN. You can select more than one keyword by using the shift and control keys on your keyboard while clicking. After you make your selection, click the submit button near the bottom of your screen.

Step 3: The next screen shows the result of our search. 48 results are returned when we select 'radiation' as our keyword selection from the previous screen.

 

Results can be sorted either alphabetically (default) or chronologically. You can also adjust the amount of results you'll see on a page by choosing 5, 10 (default), 15, 20, or all records from the pull down menu provided. Changing any of these values will reload the screen with your new selection. You can also navigate through the results by clicking on the number ranges or by using the VCR-like buttons like we are focused in below. '<<' brings you to the the first set, '<' goes back one set,' >' goes to the next set, and '>>' takes you the last set.
