International Law
The absolute or conditional acceptance by one or several states of a treaty already concluded between other sovereignties. Merl. Rêpert. It may be of two kinds: First, the formal entrance of a third state into a treaty so that such state becomes a party to it; and this can only be with the consent of the original parties. Second, a state may accede to a treaty between other states solely for the purpose of guarantee, in which case, though a party, it is affected by the treaty only as a guarantor. 1 Oppenheim, Int.L. sec. 532. See Adhesion.
Also, the commencement or inauguration of a sovereign's reign.
