Tax Treaties Are Self-Executing Tax treaties do not require any implementing law or guideline. A treaty is considered “self-executing” when it does not need any implementing legislation and it takes effect upon ratification. In US jurisdiction, a treaty that is not self-executing does not create a cause of action or provide a remedy.
