Abstract
Abstract Questions concerning ‘compatibility’ in the law of treaties have been at the heart of international disputes in recent years. The answers to these questions can have potentially significant repercussions for several areas of international co-operation. A fundamental premise of international law operates in the background to courts’ and tribunals’ approach to questions regarding compatibility in the law of treaties: the idea that, where possible, existing treaty relations should remain in place.
