Law of Treaties (Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties)

The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties is an international agreement that sets out the rules for how countries create, interpret, and manage treaties—formal agreements like peace pacts or trade deals. It ensures treaties are made honestly, followed consistently, and understood clearly. The Convention outlines processes for negotiations, consent, amendments, and how to handle disputes. Essentially, it provides a standard legal framework so countries can trust and rely on international agreements, promoting stability, cooperation, and predictability in international relations.
