摘要
条约解释是国际法中的一项重要制度,通常用于澄清条约约文的含义。在国际法不成体系的背景下,条约解释也可以用来解决条约间的冲突。用于解决条约冲突的条约解释方法在实践中并不局限于《维也纳条约法公约》中所规定的内容,还包括其他一些具有国际习惯性质的方法。不过,由于国际法的法律规则之间缺乏明确的效力等级,条约解释方法在解决条约冲突方面的作用也受到一些限制。
Treaty Interpretation, with the purpose of clarifying the text, is an important legal institution and can be used for resolving treaty conflict. Indeed, means for resolving treaty conflict are not only provided in VCLT, but comprise some other customary methods. However, the effect of treaty interpretation in respect of resolving treaty conflict may be restrictive due to the lack of hierarchy in international legal rules.
