Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Intertemporal Linguistics in International Law: Beyond Contemporaneous and Evolutionary Treaty Interpretation 2020 by Julian Wyatt
This book examines and offers a much-needed solution to a specific problem central to the ever-increasing number of international legal disputes: how to interpret a treaty with terms that change in meaning over time. Using an analytical approach inspired by the comparative method and drawing on specific concepts from external fields including private law legal theory and linguistics it restructures the most relevant international case law around a new conceptual framework that offers fresh insight into the process of treaty interpretation. It provides international lawyers with a predictable and appropriate method for solving this complex problem of international law.
