The term "revision" frequently carries some political significance, being employed by States claiming that unjust or unequal treaties should be reviewed, and final dispositions of territory or frontiers adjusted. Such a re-examination, directed to the peaceful change of situations formerly accepted as final, may be a "revision" in the widest sense of the term, but is not treaty revision as ordinarily understood, that is to say the alteration of treaty provisions imposing continuing obligations. For this reason, the words "amendment" and "modification" are perhaps preferable to denote such an alteration. 4, record 2, English, - revision
