Multilateral Treaties — Amendments

Amendment	Year	Description	Impact
42nd Amendment	1976	The 42nd Amendment added 'international treaties and agreements' to the Directive Principles under Article 51, directing the state to foster respect for international law and treaty obligations. This amendment strengthened the constitutional foundation for India's multilateral engagement by making respect for international law a constitutional directive.	Enhanced constitutional basis for India's participation in multilateral treaties and strengthened the argument for implementing international obligations, though as directive principles, these remain non-justiciable guidelines for state policy rather than enforceable rights.
