“The volume offers not only an analytical commentary of the 85 articles of the Vienna Convention, but also provides a systematic account of it … . the book is certainly a well-edited text, rich in doctrinal and jurisprudential references and analysis. It will certainly be of interest to lawyers, scholars and diplomats dealing with the law of treaties.” (Riccardo Sciaudone, European Commercial Law Observatory ECLO, eclo.eu, July, 2018)
