About this book

The Commentary on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides an in-depth article-by-article analysis of all of the Vienna Convention’s provisions. Each provision’s analysis consists of (I) Purpose and Function of the Article, (II) Historical Background with Negotiating History, (III) Elements of the Article and finally (IV) Treaties of International Organizations. In short, the present Commentary contains a comprehensive legal analysis of all aspects of the international law of treaties. Furthermore, where the law of treaties reaches into other fields of international law, e.g. the law of state responsibility, the relevant interfaces are discussed and contextualized. With its focus on international practice, the Commentary is an invaluable reference for both academia and practitioners of international law.


Reviews

“The volume offers not only an analytical commentary of the 85 articles of the Vienna Convention, but also provides a systematic account of it … . the book is certainly a well-edited text, rich in doctrinal and jurisprudential references and analysis. It will certainly be of interest to lawyers, scholars and diplomats dealing with the law of treaties.” (Riccardo Sciaudone, European Commercial Law Observatory ECLO, eclo.eu, July, 2018)
