Quotations:

In the body of the text and in the footnotes, short quotations (of three lines or less) should be incorporated within single quotation marks. Long quotations (of more
than three full lines) should appear indented from the left margin, in a smaller font size, and without quotation marks. Legislative and treaty extracts, regardless of
length, may also appear this way. Where a long quotation appears in a footnote, the citation of the source should appear on the line directly preceding or following
the quotation.
