Impact on the Law of Treaties
Scheinin, Martin LU
(2009)
- Abstract
This chapter discusses the relationship between the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) and human rights treaties. It identifies alternative approaches in the issue and discusses their relative strengths and weaknesses. The positivist approach, the dogmatic approach, and the fragmentation approach to the relationship between the VCLT and human rights treaties were rejected. Instead, the chapter expresses sympathy for the two remaining approaches, namely the constitutional and the reconciliation approaches.
