조약(條約)의 해석(解釋)에 관한 일고찰(一考察) = A Study on The Interpretation of Treaty

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of interpreting a treaty is to establish the meaning of the text which the parties must be taken to have intended it to bear in relation to the circumstances with reference to which the question of interpretation has arisen. Principle of simultaneity means a principle which stipulates that "the Wording of Treaty shall be interpreted in the light of the rules of general international laws effective at the time of entering into treaty and also in accordance with the meaning of the contemporary terminology". This principle is basic principle of contract in the context of domestic laws. However, important thing is that this principle is also applied to the interpretation of international treaty. Even though the scope of this principle is applicable only to the study on the rules of interpretation of treaty, theory of inter－temporal law can be classified into the rules of simultaneity and other rules. International laws have been often classified into treaty between different countries, multinational treaty, open treaty, and closed treaty, etc. However, we can see that it is possible to classify into treaties where principle of simultaneity is applied and the other opposite cases as a study on the theory of inter-temporal law as well as on the other principle of interpretation besides this classification.
