A CHANGE OF TREATIES IN INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE

Abstract

Any international treaty provides balanced obligations for its parties. Modification of some fundamental circumstances, existing by the moment of conclusion of a treaty, leads to necessity of its adaptation to new conditions. In this regard, the author was concentrated on the investigation of the current problem of modification of international treaties. The author focuses on different international treaties for the purpose of identification general and specific ways of modification of treaties, which have been formed by international practice. The article deals with the treaty practice of states on modification of treaties. Particular attention is paid to the norms of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1969. The author uses different methods of scientific research: systematic, structural, historical, comparative analysis. As a result of the study, the author came to the conclusion concerning the most typical ways of modification of treaties. Despite widespread treaty practice of inclusion of special measures of modification of treaties, there are some other ways of modification of treaties. For example, a treaty can be revised by subsequent practice of states or periodic conferences of its participants.
