This comprehensive article discusses international conflict resolution related to treaties and the limitations of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) in addressing current conflicts. In emphasizing the need for applying more than one technique to such difficulties, the article provides a five-part analysis, including a description of treaty conflicts, conflict resolution techniques as alternatives to the application of the VCLT, the strengths and weaknesses of the VCLT conflict resolution rules, analogies to other types of textual conflicts, and the implications of current and proposed conflict resolution strategies on international law as a coherent legal system.
