The 1969 and 1986 Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties are
essential components of the contemporary international legal order.
They aim at regulating what has become the main source of public
international law and a crucial tool in inter-state relations. The
Vienna Conventions codify to a significant extent the customary
rules that pre-existed in the field, but also put forward
innovative concepts, such as jus cogens. In spite of their
importance, these two instruments had so far not been the object of
a detailed commentary. These volumes fill that gap, by providing
both international and national lawyers with an in-depth analysis
of each provision of both Conventions. The structure of each
commentary is essentially uniform, with the first part dedicated to
the exposition of that provision's object and purpose and to the
assessment of its customary status. The second part of each
commentary deals with the main issues of interpretation raised by
the provision in question. Extensive reference is made to the
travaux preparatoires of both Conventions, including the work of
the UN International Law Commission and the proceedings of the 1969
and 1986 diplomatic conferences, and to practice both prior to and
following the adoption of the Conventions. The 90 + authors who
contributed to the book come from twenty different countries and
include some of the most respected experts in international law.
