Abstract

Art 66 complements and reinforces Art 65 para 3, especially in cases in which States Parties are not already bound by a dispute settlement mechanism. Although its practical relevance is limited, it was of eminent political importance and probably saved the Vienna Conference when the conference was about to fail. Art 66, which was not included in the ILC’s draft articles, opened an avenue for a number of States to accept the articles on invalidity and termination, which they considered to be a progressive development of treaty law, because it provided for procedural safeguards.
