Patterns of Treaty Interpretation as Anti-Fragmentation Tools

Meer over het boek

The book explores the role of treaty interpretation at the ECtHR and WTO in the context of international law unity and fragmentation. It compares these interpretations with the ICJ's practices, highlighting how the ICJ has significantly shaped international law principles. Through a critical analysis of relevant cases before and after the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the author demonstrates that the interpretative approaches of the ECtHR and WTO align with the ICJ's methods, suggesting a potential to mitigate fragmentation in international law.
