ABSTRACTTreaties are binding legal texts and come into existence by a political and legal process. In this course, Georg Nolte describes the development of some important treaties from the perspective of their practice with an aim to explore the meaning of different forms of practice for the life of treatments and for their interpretation. The author outlines the major peace treaties that existed prior to the UN Charter and discusses the issue of collective security under the Charter. He talks about human rights treaties, the WTO agreements, and the investment treaties as well as the environmental treaties and their respective practices. An overview of the interpretation of treaties by their practice follows before a conclusion by the author, which covers some comparative observations. It is difficult to assess, from the perspective of a practicing lawyer, whether a certain interpretation and application of a treaty will contribute to its "rise" or "decline" in the long term.
Les traités sont des textes légaux contraignants et naissent d'un processus politique et juridique. Dans ce cours, Georg Nolte décrit le développement de certains traités importants du point de vue de leur pratique avec le but d’explorer le sens de différentes formes de pratique pour la vie des traitements et leur interprétation. L'auteur décrit les principaux traités de paix antérieurs à la Charte des Nations Unies et aborde la question de la sécurité collective dans le cadre de la Charte. Il parle des traités relatifs aux droits de l'homme, des accords de l'OMC et des traités d'investissement, ainsi que des traités relatifs à l'environnement et de leurs pratiques respectives. On trouvera ci-après un aperçu de l’interprétation des traités selon leur pratique, avant une conclusion couvrant certaines observations comparatives de l’auteur. Il est difficile d’évaluer, du point de vue de l’avocat en exercice, si une certaine interprétation et application d’un traité contribueront à son « essor » ou à son « déclin » à long terme.
