The Convention, which was adopted at the UN Conference on the Law of Treaties on 23 May 1969, entered into force on 27 January 1980 and has meanwhile been ratified by more than 80 States.2 Yet, as it does not operate retroactively,3 the scope of application is growing only slowly and its practical importance stems, rather, from the fact that the Convention is widely considered a restatement of customary international law. As early as 1971 the International Court of Justice referred to the articles governing termination for breach of treaty as a codification of the existing law on the subject.4 Since then both international tribunals and national courts have more and more habitually relied on the material provisions of the Convention to ascertain traditional rules of the law of treaties.5 Copyright © British Institute of International and Comparative Law 1998 International and Comparative Law Quarterly Cambridge University Press 47/4(1998-10), 837-854 0020-5893 47:4<837 1998 47 ILQ https://doi.org/10.1017/S0020589300062552 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1017/S0020589300062552 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Reichert-Facilides Daniel NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- International and Comparative Law Quarterly Cambridge University Press 47/4(1998-10), 837-854 0020-5893 47:4<837 1998 47 ILQ CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence SWISSBIB 350973032 BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-cambridge
