Abstract

This article addresses the rules and principles governing the methods of interpretation provided for in Articles 31 to 33 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The purpose is to demonstrate, based on the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, that this integrated legal framework for the interpretation of treaties, which reflect international customary law, establishes obligatory means, complementary means, as well as certain rules for the interpretation of treaties authenticated in two or more languages, which guarantee the interpreter certainty about the function of the tools and about the concrete relevance of the different means of interpretation and the manner in which they should interact with the other means in the unity of the process as a single combined operation.
