Abstract
This chapter presents the status of the convention discussed in this book titled Commentary on the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The book is a commentary on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969 and as such an exercise in interpreting its provisions and establishing their meaning and scope. The commentary on the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties is, therefore, devoted not only to one of the most important but also one of the most complex subjects of international law. The Vienna Convention is one of the best achievement of the International Law Commission which goes beyond a mere codification of then existing customary international law in trying and daring to include some innovative regimes, for instance, the regime on reservations, jus cogens and the validity and termination of international treaties.
