Termination and suspention of international treaties or withdrawal

The most common method used by states and international organizations for the termination of international treaties is, to include exit provisions that determine the conditions for termination. The purpose of these provisions is to terminate the relevant treaty without damaging interstate relations when a dispute arises between the parties after the conclusion of the treaty. It is always possible for the parties to agree upon and terminate the treaty pursuant to their mutual consent. However, in practice, it is also possible to come across situations where the parties did not negotiate the exit provisions regarding the treaties they conclude. With respect to these possible situations, 1969 Vienna Convention on The Law of Treaties stipulate rules relative to the termination of international treaties that do not contain any exit provisions in its content. In our study, we tried to examine the grounds for the termination, suspension of international treaties and withdrawal from them Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties in its entirety. In addition, we prefered to convey with concrete examples the grounds for the termination of the international treaties by including current interstate disputes and decisions of the International Court of Justice.
