 rubber hose: the vienna convention
the story is basically this: the 1963 vienna convention requires all participating countries to notify the consulate of a criminal suspect's home country just after she or he is arrested.
in various court cases challenging the conviction of foreign nationals who were not given their vienna convention rights, the administration had argued that only the president could decide whether a new hearing is warranted and the president consistently argued that no new hearing was.
this is an important issue for me. the vienna convention, like all treaties is essentially a quid pro quo between nations.

 NEA Publications: ISSUE BRIEF No. 4 - 1st revision - INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR THIRD PARTY LIABILITY
As noted above, one of the main features of the Paris and Vienna Conventions is the channelling of the liability onto the operator, including for accidents occurring during the course of the transport of nuclear substances.
The Paris and Vienna Conventions provide for compensation for damage to or loss of life of any person, and for damage to, or loss of, any property caused by a nuclear accident in a nuclear installation or during transport of nuclear substances to and from installations.
The first revision of the Vienna Convention is currently under study in the framework of the IAEA, with the active participation of the NEA and its Member countries.

 [No title]
This Convention shall not affect the application of provisions which, in relation to particular matters, lay down choice of law rules relating to contractual obligations and which are or will be contained in acts of the institutions of the European Communities or in national laws harmonised in implementation of such acts.
To start with, a comparison between the Hague Convention and the Rome Convention suggests that under the former the provisions of the contract are primarily of importance, and under the latter it is the circumstances of the case.
A different matter is that the rules of the Vienna Convention may govern the contract of sale in the end by virtue of Article 1(1)(b), where the parties have their relevant places of business in different States, but that is not the same as solving the choice of laws issues.

 International Law Commission: 1997 Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Acknowledging that the lacunae of the Vienna Conventions should be filled and their ambiguities dispelled to the extent possible and within the existing framework, some members nevertheless drew attention to the complexity and the highly political nature of the topic.
It was pointed out that the regime subsequently established by the Vienna Convention had been known to States at the time of the adoption of some human rights instruments and the absence of specific provisions on reservations in those instruments had therefore been intended.
It was pointed out that the Vienna Convention was silent in that regard; more particularly it was incumbent on the State to make its attitude clear, namely, either to admit that it still considered itself a party to the treaty and consequently reformulate its reservation in narrower terms, or formally withdraw from the treaty.

 eDiplomat: Diplomatic Immunity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The conventions provide immunity to persons according to their rank in a diplomatic mission or consular post and according to the need for immunity in performing their duties.
The United States considers the Vienna conventions particularly important because of the large number of American diplomatic and consular personnel stationed in countries where judicial systems are very different and less protective of individual rights than our own or where unfriendly governments might use their police authorities to harass American diplomats and their families.
Under the Vienna conventions, all persons entitled to immunity have the obligation and duty to respect the laws and regulations of the host country.

 Nuclear Liability: A Continuing Impediment To Nuclear Commerce
The nuclear liability conventions’ common principles are channelling of liability to the installation operator, absolute liability, liability limited in amount, liability limited in time, a single competent court to adjudicate claims, compulsory financial security, and non-discrimination based on nationality, domicile or residence.
These are the 1960 Paris Convention, the 1963 Vienna Convention, the 1963 Brussels Supplementary Convention, the 1971 Maritime Carriage of Nuclear Material Convention, the 1988 Joint Protocol, the 1997 Protocol to Amend the Vienna Convention, and the 1997 CSC.
Without greater adherence to the new Vienna Convention and the CSC, liability potentially associated with international nuclear commerce is likely to be a labyrinth of statutes and treaties not yet interpreted by the courts.

 Martin Gebauer
The Vienna Convention is always to be interpreted in favor of an autonomous solution, and where it applies, national law is kept to hand in case the concepts of the Convention's single rules need to be determined.
Article 5(1) is as an example of a Conventional rule which is to be interpreted in part by recourse to a national concept, and in part on the basis of the autonomous meaning of the uniform law previously established by the Court's rulings.
Interestingly, although it was principally the Brussels Convention that was to be interpreted, not CISG, the court, in accordance with the rulings of the EC Court of Justice,[102] subjected its interpretation to external rules, in the instant case the uniform rules of CISG.

However, there are two points that require further reflection in terms of their consistency with the Vienna conventions as well as with the State practice.
As it has been pointed out by some members of the Commission, in accordance with the Vienna regime the power to decide the impermissibility of reservations is left to the States parties to a given treaty only.
The Vienna regime stipulates general norms governing the reservations, and as I stated earlier, the guideline should follow the applicable regime.

 Relative Normativity in International Law
Thus, Professor Weil's critique of Articles 53 and 64 of the Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties does not concern the higher status of some norms as such, but is aimed at the fact that ius cogens cannot be identified on the basis of formal criteria.
According to the legal methodology now codified in Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the starting-point for the interpretation of legal terms is their ordinary meaning.
Instead, Article 53 of the Vienna Conventions gives priority to a norm which is `accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of international law having the same character'.
