Rights and Obligations of Third States in International Law, Articles 34 et seq of the VCLT

The subject matter of the thesis at hand is the manner in which an international treaty can validly create rights or obligations for states that are "third" to it. I.e. for states that do not form part of the contractual bond. Firstly, this thesis examines the principle that "pacta tertiis nec nocent, nec prosunt", established in art. 34 of the VCLT and its application in international maritime delimitation. Pursuant to this, attention is placed upon the deviations from the "pacta tertiis" rule, found in arts. 35-37 VCLT. Finally issues left out from the VCLT's scope are examined. Whithin this framework, we examine the issues of boundary treaties and the so-called "objective regimes" theory.
