152026280 TREATY LAW ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

The course aims to shed light on international treaties of various kinds (bilateral and multilateral) as a primary source of state obligations. The course examines these treaties in light of the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969 in terms of the definition of international treaties, the mechanisms to conclude them, the mechanisms of reservation thereof, the different methods in which they are applied, their effects on the signatory states and the third party states, the different methods of interpretation and the mechanisms of their amendment and termination. The course also examines the two-dimensional relationship between international treaties and customary international law, as they are two main sources of public international law. In addition, the course covers the most important international agreements of which Palestine has become a part, and the legal implications thereof.
