On the Interpretation of Treaties: The Modern International Law as Expressed in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties

"This book investigates the contents and structure of the system of rules laid down in Articles 31-33 in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. By importing knowledge from linguistics, and pragmatics in particular, a model is established giving representation to the concept of a rule of interpretation. Drawing on this model, the book then proceeds to reconstruct the contents of the various rules of interpretation. To facilitate reference, the conclusions suggest a list of 44 rules, all of which can be invoked by appliers citing VCLT Articles 31-33."--BOOK JACKET.Linderfalk, Ulf is the author of 'On the Interpretation of Treaties: The Modern International Law as Expressed in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties', published 2007 under ISBN 9781402063619 and ISBN 140206361X.
