Abstract
This book describes the role of treaties as an element of international law. Treaties comprise the whole range of international agreements that are governed by international law. The book explains what treaties are, how they are made, and how they are interpreted and implemented both internationally and within national legal systems. In doing this, the book includes an account of the main features of the law of treaties and describes how treaties contribute to the formation and codification of international law. It outlines how treaties are the foundation of international organizations which, in turn, through their constitutive treaties and those treaties which they develop make extensive contributions to international law. Thus the book shows that treaties, and the legal regimes which they create, now constitute the pre-eminent component of international law.
