“…16–17) This is true even if we follow Art. 31 VCLT according to which interpretation of a legal text should primarily be an attempt to (re)construct the intentions of the parties (WTO Member States in our case) (Bjorge, ). As noted by Frankel, the difficulty in interpreting Art.…”

This paper addresses legitimacy issues of the international IP regime by focusing on how normative resources internal to the Trade‐Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) might be drawn upon. It combines legal analysis and political theory to account for the TRIPS’ normative foundations (Art. 7 and 8). The paper's primary contribution is to show that these special legal norms are both a locus of balancing the objectives and principles and a guiding light for the interpretation of subsequent norms contained within the treaty. Their content might best be understood using concepts coined by political theory. This combination of legal and philosophical insights identifies two levels of relevance for these special legal norms: as a specification about the type of competition in global trade foreseen by the TRIPS, and as a justification for intellectual property rights protection. To illustrate the relevance of this approach, the paper briefly considers the panel report in Plain Packaging and its use of Art. 7 and 8. Overall, the paper entails both a methodological contribution on the dialog between political theory and law on international trade, as well as a legal argument on how to unpack normative resources entailed by the TRIPS itself.

“…In support of this, the so-called 'Vienna rules' (Bjorge, 2018) contained in articles 31-33 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties allow for the harmonized interpretation of "any relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties" in article 31(3)(c). Hence, the application of article 51 UNC need not exclude (nor should it) the invocation of necessity under the terms of the DARSIWA since they're not incompatible and the former does not explicitly exclude the latter.…”

The Plea of State of Necessity: A palatable normative framework for extraterritorial self-defense against Non-State Actors

The UN Charter law governing self-defense is inadequate to address emerging modalities of armed violence caused by non-State actors located in the territory of non-consenting third States. This paper offers an alternative grounded in the state of necessity as a circumstance excluding wrongfulness as per the law of State responsibility. The contention is that in integrating the rationale behind necessity as an excuse for non-performance of obligations and the conditions and processes under article 51 of the UN Charter, the law allows for an exercise of extraterritorial self-defense against non-State actors which safeguards the territorial State’s sovereignty and the need for a legal alternative of defense for the defending State without toeing the line of aggression.

“…La conducta ulterior puede ser una regla relevante a determinar si la intención presunta de partes al celebrar un tratado era atribuir, a un término allí utilizado, un sentido susceptible de evolucionar en el tiempo o por el contrario, estar sujeto al Derecho vigente al momento de su celebración 91 . Esto lo ha reconocido la CDI en su conclusión 8 92 , al igual que la jurisprudencia internacional.…”

El presente estudio analiza los recientes avances y desarrollos en torno a una de las reglas más importantes de interpretación de los tratados: la conducta ulterior de las partes. En este sentido, este estudio tiene como propósito establecer el contenido y los alcances de este principio principal de interpretación, recogido tanto por la Convención de Viena de 1969 sobre Derecho de los tratados como por la costumbre internacional, teniendo en cuenta su aplicación por parte de la jurisprudencia internacional, pero también el Proyecto de conclusiones sobre los acuerdos ulteriores y la práctica ulterior en relación con la interpretación de los tratados aprobado por la CDI, en agosto de 2018. Esto será especialmente útil para los aplicadores del Derecho internacional, tanto en el interior de los Estados como por las entidades de carácter internacional, en su permanente labor de interpretación, aplicación e implementación de los tratados internacionales.
