THE NATURE OF EVOLUTIVE TREATY INTERPRETATION: DOES EVOLUTIVE TREATY INTERPRETATION OPERATING UNDER VCLT?

Abstract

Treaty is not static, evolutively interpreted. Interpretation as it seems has always had a prominent and contentious place in international adjudication, and its application has been further enhanced for a century. The significance attached to the interpretation of treaties cannot be overemphasized, because it is of great importance that only the intent of a treaty is activated.  The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties has been applied towards the interpretation of treaties. This treaty covers the issue of interpretation and the various methods which shall be applied during adjudication with respect to interpretation of treaties. It is necessary to consider the nature and operation of evolutive treaty interpretation in various bilateral and multi lateral treaties-Whether it is operating under Vienna convention law of treaty or under separate heading.
