Definition
议定书 is a formal noun meaning 'protocol' in the diplomatic or legal sense — a written agreement or set of rules that supplements a treaty or convention. You'll see it in international law contexts like the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书) or the Montreal Protocol (蒙特利尔议定书). It's distinct from 协议 (agreement) in that a 议定书 is more procedural and often attached to a larger treaty.
