Treaty principles

Treaty principles are fundamental ideas guiding how agreements like treaties are interpreted and honored. They include the respect for the sovereignty and rights of the parties involved, good faith in fulfilling commitments, and ensuring fairness and cooperation. These principles emphasize honoring the original intentions, honoring mutual obligations, and recognizing the importance of negotiations and consent. In a broader context, they help maintain trust and establish a framework for ongoing relationships between nations or groups, ensuring that agreements are fair, respectful, and upheld over time.
