ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Treaty

Okay kiddo, a treaty is like a promise between different countries. Just like how you make promises to your friends, countries also make promises to each other.

Let's say you and your friend want to share your toys. You both need to agree on what toys you will share and for how long. That agreement is like a treaty between you two.

Countries do the same thing, they agree on things like trade, peace, and other important stuff. They sign a treaty to make it official. Just like how you write a promise on a piece of paper, countries write the treaty down and sign it.

Treaties are really important because they help countries work together and solve problems peacefully. It's kind of like how you and your friend work together to make a tower out of blocks. You have to cooperate and agree on what to do, just like countries have to agree on what to do in a treaty.

Overall, a treaty is a promise between countries to work together and solve problems peacefully, just like how you and your friend make promises to each other.
