Article 26 (pacta sunt servanda)

Article 26, based on the principle of "pacta sunt servanda," states that agreements or contracts made between parties must be honored and followed. Once people have agreed on certain terms, they are legally bound to fulfill their commitments. This principle ensures trust and reliability in legal and business relationships, emphasizing that contracts are not just informal promises but commitments that must be respected and enforced under the law. In simple terms, if you make a deal or agreement, you are expected to keep your word.
