The legal concept of reservation to multilateral international treaties

Abstract

This study aims to identify the legal system for reservations to multilateral international treaties by explaining the nature of the reservation, its reasons and conditions, and the legal effects resulting from accepting and objecting to the reservation. To achieve the objective of the study, the issues raised by reservations to international treaties were clarified in light of the appropriate and acceptable solutions established by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties between States. The research included an introduction and two sections. In the first section, I discussed the nature of reservations to international treaties, while I devoted the second section to explaining the conditions and effects of reservations. The researcher used the descriptive analytical approach in order to analyze the legal texts related to the reservation. In conclusion, the researcher concluded with a set of recommendations, the most important of which was to reduce the expression of reservations to multilateral international treaties, because they undermine the idea of the integration and unity of the treaty.
