Great Britain gained control of the Suez Canal in 1875 even though it did not finance or participate in its construction. Egypt found themselves in debt so they sold their shares of the Suez Canal to Great Britain.
It should be both the rights and the liberties, as they are similar to each other and not distinguishable to my opinion.
U.S. treaties and international agreements currently in force (i.e., excluding those, some of which are included on this page, that are no longer in force, and that are signed but not ratified or otherwise have not yet entered into force), divided between (1) bilateral treaties organized by state and then by topic, and (2) multilateral treaties organized by topic, see the annual State Department publication.
I have an incomplete list but I hope it helps.
