Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), adopted on May 22 1969, codified the pre-existing international customary law on treaties, with some necessary gap-filling and clarifications. Most states are parties to it. However, even those that are not may still recognize it as binding upon them in as much as it is a restatement of already existing law (the United States is among these).
The Convention entered into force on January 27, 1980.
