Based on Qatar v Bahrain Case, After examining the 1990 the Court observes that they are
not a simple record of a meeting, similar to those drawn up within the framework of the
Tripartite Committee; they do not merely give an account of discussions and summarize
points of agreement and disagreement. They enumerate the commitments to which the
Parties have consented. They thus create rights and obligations in international law for the
Parties. They constitute an international agreement. Thus, based on this cases, IMT-GT

Agreement related to tourism aspect (1st Agreed Minutes, 2nd Agreed Minutes, 3rd Agreed
Minutes) catagorized as a treaty.
The Government of Aceh should revise Qanun No. 8 of 2013 on tourism and review
the things what are the tourism related that should be added on the qanun. So the rules
regarding tourism in aceh would be more specific. And also look back at the IMT -GT
Agreement to harmonize tourism law in Aceh. The Government of Aceh also have much to
learn in making international agreements (Treaty) from the Central Government which is
more experienced in the making treaties. And in the process learned the government of Aceh

should be plenty involving the Central Government in making treaties as regulated in the law
No. 24 of 2000 on treaties.
