Abstract

The article attempts to investigate the application of the pacta sunt servanda principle in modern conditions and analyze its implementation on the example of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms as a special type of international treaty. The European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) at the 130th plenary session on March 18, 2022 approved the report “On internal procedures for the ratification and denunciation of international treaties”, which also encourages a return to the legal and practical aspects of the pacta sund servanda principle.

The research methodology is based on the dialectical method. The use of general scientific and private scientific methods of scientific cognition, in particular descriptive, formal-legal, systematic methods, the method of analysis allowed us to investigate the issues under consideration holistically and comprehensively.

The study of the pacta sunt servanda principle in modern conditions on the example of the above-mentioned Convention as a special type of international treaty has shown that at this stage this principle is not fulfilled unconditionally by all States, as the very essence of the principle in question suggests. One can try to justify this fact by the current difficult international situation, when, in conditions of mutual distrust of States, the unconditional priority of international law is called into question, but it is obvious that non—compliance by States parties to an international treaty by virtue of the pacta sunt servanda principle leads to a decrease in guarantees for the implementation of international treaties and objectively erodes the fundamental provisions of international law.
