Subject field(s)
  • Treaties and Conventions
CONT

The Conclusion of Treaties. Under this head, a number of problems call for examination : the treaty-making power in international law; the form of treaties; the significance of signature and ratification; the meaning and admissibility of reservations; the registration of treaties; the problems arising from defects in the formation of the joint will; and, finally, the question of treaty languages.

Traditionnellement, la conclusion comportait la négociation, la signature, la ratification et l'échange ou le dépôt des instruments de ratification, opérations auxquelles il convient d'ajouter, depuis l'entrée en vigueur du Pacte de la Société des Nations, l'enregistrement, puis sur le plan du droit interne, la publication [...]

DEF

The permanent home of a person, or that place where a man has his true fixed and permanent home and principal establishment and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning. It is the relation which the law creates between an individual and a particular locality or country. In order to constitute domicile, a person must not only have his permanent home in the locality but also the animus manendi, that is, the intention to make that residence his permanent one.

OBS

The term "domicil" is by no means synonymous with either "home" or "residence". Home is a natural and untechnical conception : domicil is an artificial conception, it is an idea of law... The distinction between domicil and residence is largely one of mental condition or intention; domicil is generally a question of intent, while residence is entirely a question of fact. Domicil is independent of naturalization and allegiance...

(T) he true criterion of an irremovable fixture consists in the united application of several tests : 1st. Real or constructive annexation of the article in question to the realty; 2nd. Appropriation or adaptation to the use or purpose of that part of the realty with which it is connected; 3rd. The intention of the party making the annexation to make the article a permanent accession to the freehold, this intention being inferred from the nature of the article affixed, the relation and situation of the party making the annexation, and the policy of the law in relation thereto, the structure and mode of the annexation and the purpose or use for which the annexation was made. Of these three tests, the clear tendency of modern authority seems to give pre-eminence to the question of intention to make the article a permanent accession to the freehold, and the others seem to derive their chief value as evidence of such intention.(Reiter, Risk & McLellan, 2nd ed., 1982, pp. 131-2)

In addition to the terms which the parties have expressly adopted, there may be other terms imported into the contract, these latter being generally known as implied terms, though this nomenclature is misleading in that it covers a number of dissimilar notions. As a general rule, the courts will enforce not only the terms expressly agreed between the parties, but also those which are to be logically implied from those express terms.... Even where a term may not be logically implied from the words used, the law admits of certain other terms to be implied as follows :(1) terms which the parties probably had in mind but did not express;(2) terms which the parties, whether or not they actually had them in mind, would probably have expressed if the question had been brought to their attention; and(3) terms that, whether or not the parties had them in mind or would have expressed them if they had foreseen the difficulty, are implied rules of law.(9 Hals., 4th ed., p. 224)

Overholding with consent. Until rent is paid or something said or done on the part of the landlord to indicate an intention to treat the tenant holding over as his tenant for a further term, the landlord may treat him as a trespasser and bring an action of ejectment. When, however, a tenant is allowed to continue in possession after the expiration of a tenancy by agreement, the terms on which he continues to occupy are matters of evidence rather than of law. If there is nothing to show a different understanding he will be considered to hold on the terms of the old lease in so far as these terms are applicable. It is also a question of intention whether the parties, when the lease provides for overholding, intend the tenant to remain under the overholding provisions or under a new lease.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 285-286)

Under the old law, a deed could not be delivered, as an escrow, direct to the grantee. Delivery in escrow was made to a third party-the first delivery-and, upon the fulfilment of the condition, the third party would deliver the deed to the grantee-the second delivery. It seems that the old law no longer applies. The more modern approach is to treat the question as one of fact; even where there is delivery to the grantee, the intention of the parties must be ascertained, from the transaction as a whole, as to whether the delivery was absolute or conditional.(Mendes da Costa and Balfour, p. 401)

The term "domestic animals" includes all those domestic or tame animals as by habit or training live in association with man. An animal which does not exist in a wild state anywhere in the world is in law a domestic animal. It is a question of law, not fact, whether an animal is within the class of domestic animals or wild animals.(2 Hals., 4th, p. 85-86)

OBS

The common law divided animals into two main groups, "domitae naturae", or domestic, and "ferae naturae", or wild. Domestic animals were treated the same as ordinary chattels and one might have an absolute property in them, but live, wild animals were subject only to a qualified or defeasible property right, dependent upon actual physical control or possession ...

The practice of a state is shown by its acts and attitudes in its international relations with other states. When it becomes clear that each state acts in the same way, or takes up the same attitude to the acts or omissions of other states, the practice is uniform. When there is a repetition of such uniform practice over a period of time, the practice is constant. State practice which is both uniform and constant creates a "usage". Custom requires a "general practice". No precise answer can be given to the question of how general the practice needs to be. So long as a group of states follow the practice, and accept it as law, there is a custom. All customs have begun in the same way, and become of increasingly universal application as more states align their practice to them.

Quand il y a un arbitre, ses décisions sont finales; quand il y a un juge-arbitre, il a le pouvoir d'entendre les appels sur les décisions des arbitres qui impliquent des questions de droit, c'est-à-dire d'interprétation des règlements. La décision du juge-arbitre est alors finale. Quand il y a des adjoints à l'arbitre (juges de lignes, juge de filet, juges de fautes de pied), leurs décisions sont finales sur les questions de fait, c'est-à-dire de jugement, sauf si l'arbitre estime qu'une erreur manifeste a été commise.

The compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice depends upon a prior declaration of acceptance under Article 36(2) of the Statute, which reads :"The states parties to the present Statute may at any time declare that they recognize as compulsory ipso facto and without special agreement, in relation to any other state accepting the same obligation, the jurisdiction of the Court in all legal disputes concerning : a) the interpretation of a treaty; b) any question of international law; c) the existence of any fact which, if established, would constitute a breach of an international obligation; d) the nature or extent of the reparation to be made for the breach of an international obligation.

The equality of states is a general principle of international law. It is a necessary corollary of the concepts of sovereignty and independence of states. However, it is only the legal equality, or equality before the law, which is in question. States are of course not equal in fact. The general consequence is that each state is entitled to equal treatment under the law.
