Essays on the Law of Treaties: A Collection of Essays in Honour of Bert Vierdag

The present volume contains a collection of essays on various aspects of the law of treaties, written on the occasion of Professor E.W. Vierdag’s retirement as Professor of International Law and International Relations at the University of Amsterdam. Written by leading academics in the field as well as practitioners and former practitioners, the essays cover such issues as the relationship between treaties and other legal instruments, various distinct techniques for the conclusion of treaties, and the making of treaties in several areas of contemporary relevance. The essays thereby address issues of relevance not just for academics in the fields of public law and political science, but also for professionals engaged in international negotiations and treaty-making.
