Definition
公约 (gōng yuē) refers to a formal international convention or treaty, often multilateral and covering global issues (e.g., environmental protection). It differs from 条约 (tiáo yuē), which is a more specific treaty between nations (often bilateral), and from 合约 (hé yuē), which is a commercial or legal contract.
