They just needed 50 countries to ratify the treaty.

Most will ratify the treaty by a vote in parliament.

Asked if they would vote to ratify the treaty if a referendum were held tomorrow, respondents were split, with 35% saying yes and 35% no.

One faction believed that seven states could ratify the treaty; arguing that they were merely ratifying and not entering into a treaty.

In other words, only after all countries ratify the treaty are they obligated to implement the changes domestically after ratification by three members.
