批准

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 批准 (ひじゅん) is the formal state act of finally approving a treaty or agreement. Nominal and past verbal forms separate deliberation from completion.
• Basic usage: A parliament considers 条約の批准について; a document records 協定を批准した日付.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Deliberating formal approval and recording its completed date
  • The first sentence is still at the review stage; the second presupposes ratification and identifies its date. The scope is treaty approval, not personal agreement or ordinary permission.
