一國負有義務不得採取任何足以妨礙條約目的及宗旨之行動：	A State is obliged to refrain from acts which would defeat the object and purpose of a treaty when:

第十九條 提具保留	Article 19 Formulation of reservations
一國得於簽署、批准、接受、贊同或加入條約時，提具保留，但有下列情形之一者不在此限：	A State may, when signing, ratifying, accepting, approving or acceding to a treaty, formulate a reservation unless:

第二十條 接受及反對保留	Article 20 Acceptance of and objection to reservations
一、凡為條約明示准許之保留，無須其他締約國事後予以接受，但條約規定須如此辦理者，不在此限。	1. A reservation expressly authorized by a treaty does not require any subsequent acceptance by the other contracting States unless the treaty so provides.
二、倘自談判國之有限數目及條約之目的與宗旨，可見在全體當事國間適用全部條約為每一當事國同意承受條約拘束之必要條件時，保留須經全體當事國接受。	2. When it appears from the limited number of the negotiating States and the object and purpose of a treaty that the application of the treaty in its entirety between all the parties is an essential condition of the consent of each one to be bound by the treaty, a reservation requires acceptance by all the parties.
三、倘條約為國際組織之組織約章，除條約另有規定外，保留須經該組織主管機關接受。	3. When a treaty is a constituent instrument of an international organization and unless it otherwise provides, a reservation requires the acceptance of the competent organ of that organization.
四、凡不屬以上各項所稱之情形，除條約另有規定外：	4. In cases not falling under the preceding paragraphs and unless the treaty otherwise provides:
（甲）保留經另一締約國接受，就該另一締約國而言，保留國即成為條約之當事國，但須條約對各該國均已生效；	(a) acceptance by another contracting State of a reservation constitutes the reserving State a party to the treaty in relation to that other State if or when the treaty is in force for those States;
（乙）保留經另一締約國反對，則條約在反對國與保留國間並不因此而不生效力，但反對國確切表示相反之意思者不在此限；	(b) an objection by another contracting State to a reservation does not preclude the entry into force of the treaty as between the objecting and reserving States unless a contrary intention is definitely expressed by the objecting State;
（丙）表示一國同意承受條約拘束而附以保留之行為，一俟至少有另一締約國接受保留，即發生效力。	(c) an act expressing a State’s consent to be bound by the treaty and containing a reservation is effective as soon as at least one other contracting State has accepted the reservation.
五、就適用第二項與第四項而言，除條約另有規定外，倘一國在接獲關於保留之通知後十二個月期間屆滿時或至其表示同意承受條約拘束之日為止，兩者中以較後之日期為準，迄未對保留提出反對，此項保留即視為業經該國接受。	5. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 4 and unless the treaty otherwise provides, a reservation is considered to have been accepted by a State if it shall have raised no objection to the reservation by the end of a period of twelve months after it was notified of the reservation or by the date on which it expressed its consent to be bound by the treaty, whichever is later.
第二十一條 保留及對保留提出之反對之法律效果	Article 21 Legal elects of reservations and of objections to reservations
一、依照第十九條、第二十條及第二十三條對另一當事國成立之保留：	1. A reservation established with regard to another party in accordance with articles 19, 20 and 23:
（甲）對保留國而言，其與該另一當事國之關係上照保留之範圍修改保留所關涉之條約規定；及	(a) modifies for the reserving State in its relations with that other party the provisions of the treaty to which the reservation relates to the extent of the reservation; and
（乙）對該另一當事國而言，其與保留國之關係上照同一範圍修改此等規定。	(b) modifies those provisions to the same extent for that other party in its relations with the reserving State.
二、此項保留在條約其他當事國相互間不修改條約之規定。	2. The reservation does not modify the provisions of the treaty for the other parties to the treaty inter se.
三、倘反對保留之國家未反對條約在其本國與保留國間生效，此項保留所關涉之規定在保留之範圍內於該兩國間不適用之。	3. When a State objecting to a reservation has not opposed the entry into force of the treaty between itself and the reserving State, the provisions to which the reservation relates do not apply as between the two States to the extent of the reservation.
第二十二條 撤回保留及撤回對保留提出之反對	Article 22 Withdrawal of reservations and of objections to reservations
一、除條約另有規定外，保留得隨時撤回，無須經業已接受保留之國家同意。	1. Unless the treaty otherwise provides, a reservation may be withdrawn at any time and the consent of a State which has accepted the reservation is not required for its withdrawal.
二、除條約另有規定外，對保留提出之反對得隨時撤回。	2. Unless the treaty otherwise provides, an objection to a reservation may be withdrawn at any time.
三、除條約另有規定或另經協議外：	3. Unless the treaty otherwise provides, or it is otherwise agreed:
（甲）保留之撤回，在對另一締約國之關係上，自該國收到撤回保留之通知之時起方始發生效力；	(a) the withdrawal of a reservation becomes operative in relation to another contracting State only when notice of it has been received by that State;
（乙）對保留提出之反對之撤回，自提出保留之國家收到撤回反對之通知時起方始發生效力。	(b) the withdrawal of an objection to a reservation becomes operative only when notice of it has been received by the State which formulated the reservation.
第二十三條 關於保留之程序	Article 23 Procedure regarding reservations
一、保留、明示接受保留及反對保留，均必須以書面提具並致送締約國及有權成為條約當事國之其他國家。	1. A reservation, an express acceptance of a reservation and an objection to a reservation must be formulated in writing and communicated to the contracting States and other States entitled to become parties to the treaty.
二、保留係在簽署須經批准、接受或贊同之條約時提具者，必須由保留國在表示同意承受條約拘束時正式確認。遇此情形，此項保留應視為在其確認之日提出。	2. If formulated when signing the treaty subject to ratification, acceptance or approval, a reservation must be formally confirmed by the reserving State when expressing its consent to be bound by the treaty. In such a case the reservation shall be considered as having been made on the date of its confirmation.
三、明示接受保留或反對保留係在確認保留前提出者，其本身無須經過確認。	3. An express acceptance of, or an objection to, a reservation made previously to confirmation of the reservation does not itself require confirmation.
四、撤回保留或撤回對保留提出之反對，必須以書面為之。	4. The withdrawal of a reservation or of an objection to a reservation must be formulated in writing.
第三節 條約之生效及暫時適用	SECTION 3. ENTRY INTO FORCE AND PROVISIONAL, APPLICATION OF TREATIES
第二十四條 生效	Article 24 Entry into force
一、條約生效之方式及日期，依條約之規定或依談判國之協議。	1. A treaty enters into force in such manner and upon such date as it may provide or as the negotiating States may agree.
二、倘無此種規定或協議，條約一俟確定所有談判國同意承受條約之拘束，即行生效。	2. Failing any such provision or agreement, a treaty enters into force as soon as consent to be bound by the treaty has been established for all the negotiating States.
三、除條約另有規定外，一國承受條約拘束之同意如係於條約生效後之一日期確定，則條約自該日起對該國生效。	3. When the consent of a State to be bound by a treaty is established on a date after the treaty has come into force, the treaty enters into force for that State on that date, unless the treaty otherwise provides.
四、條約中為條約約文之認證，國家同意承受條約拘束之確定，條約生效之方式或日期，保留，保管機關之職務以及當然在條約生效前發生之其他事項所訂立之規定，自條約約文議定時起適用之。	4. The provisions of a treaty regulating the authentication of its text, the establishment of the consent of States to be bound by the treaty, the manner or date of its entry into force, reservations, the functions of the depositary and other matters arising necessarily before the entry into force of the treaty apply from the time of the adoption of its text.
第二十五條 暫時適用	Article 25 Provisional application
一、條約或條約之一部分於條約生效前在下列情形下暫時適用：	1. A treaty or a part of a treaty is applied provisionally pending its entry into force if:
（甲）條約本身如此規定；或	(a) the treaty itself so provides; or
（乙）談判國以其他方式協議如此辦理。	(b) the negotiating States have in some other manner so agreed.
二、除條約另有規定或談判國另有協議外，條約或條約一部分對一國之暫時適用，於該國將其不欲成為條約當事國之意思通知已暫時適用條約之其他各國時終止。	2. Unless the treaty otherwise provides or the negotiating States have otherwise agreed, the provisional application of a treaty or a part of a treaty with respect to a State shall be terminated if that State notifies the other States between which the treaty is being applied provisionally of its intention not to become a party to the treaty.

第二十七條 國內法與條約之遵守	Article 27 Internal law and observance of treaties
一當事國不得援引其國內法規定為理由而不履行條約。此項規則不妨礙第四十六條。	A party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty. This rule is without prejudice to article 46.

第二十九條 條約之領土範圍	Article 29 Territorial scope of treaties
除條約表示不同意思，或另經確定外，條約對每一當事國之拘束力及於其全部領土。	Unless a different intention appears from the treaty or is otherwise established, a treaty is binding upon each party in respect of its entire territory.
第三十條 關於同一事項先後所訂條約之適用	Article 30 Application of successive treaties relating to the same subject matter
一、以不違反聯合國憲章第一百零三條為限，就同一事項先後所訂條約當事國之權利與義務應依下列各項確定之。	1. Subject to Article 103 of the Charter of the United Nations, the rights and obligations of States Parties to successive treaties relating to the same subject matter shall be determined in accordance with the following paragraphs.
二、遇條約訂明須不違反先訂或後訂條約或不得視為與先訂或後訂條約不合時，該先訂或後訂條約之規定應居優先。	2. When a treaty specifies that it is subject to, or that it is not to be considered as incompatible with, an earlier or later treaty, the provisions of that other treaty prevail.
三、遇先訂條約全體當事國亦為後訂條約當事國但不依第五十九條終止或停止施行先訂條約時，先訂條約僅於其規定與後訂條約規定相合之範圍內適用之。	3. When all the parties to the earlier treaty are parties also to the later treaty but the earlier treaty is not terminated or suspended in operation under article 59, the earlier treaty applies only to the extent that its provisions are compatible with those of the later treaty.
四、遇後訂條約之當事國不包括先訂條約之全體當事國時：	4. When the parties to the later treaty do not include all the parties to the earlier one:
（甲）在同為兩條約之當事國間，適用第三項之同一規則；	(a) as between States Parties to both treaties the same rule applies as in paragraph 3;
（乙）在為兩條約之當事國與僅為其中一條約之當事國間彼此之權利與義務依兩國均為當事國之條約定之。	(b) as between a State party to both treaties and a State party to only one of the treaties, the treaty to which both States are parties governs their mutual rights and obligations.
五、第四項不妨礙第四十一條，或依第六十條終止或停止施行條約之任何問題，或一國因締結或適用一條約而其規定與該國依另一條約對另一國之義務不合所生之任何責任問題。	5. Paragraph 4 is without prejudice to article 41, or to any question of the termination or suspension of the operation of a treaty under article 60 or to any question of responsibility which may arise for a State from the conclusion or application of a treaty the provisions of which are incompatible with its obligations towards another State under another treaty.
第三節 條約之解釋	SECTION 3. INTERPRETATION OF TREATIES
第三十一條 解釋之通則	Article 31 General rule of interpretation
一、條約應依其用語按其上下文並參照條約之目的及宗旨所具有之通常意義，善意解釋之。	1. A treaty shall be interpreted in good faith in accordance with the ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of the treaty in their context and in the light of its object and purpose.
二、就解釋條約而言，上下文除指連同弁言及附件在內之約文外，並應包括：	2. The context for the purpose of the interpretation of a treaty shall comprise, in addition to the text, including its preamble and annexes:
（甲）全體當事國間因締結條約所訂與條約有關之任何協定；	(a) any agreement relating to the treaty which was made between all the parties in connection with the conclusion of the treaty;
（乙）一個以上當事國因締結條約所訂並經其他當事國接受為條約有關文書之任何文書。	(b) any instrument which was made by one or more parties in connection with the conclusion of the treaty and accepted by the other parties as an instrument related to the treaty.
三、應與上下文一併考慮者尚有：	3. There shall be taken into account, together with the context:
（甲）當事國嗣後所訂關於條約之解釋或其規定之適用之任何協定；	(a) any subsequent agreement between the parties regarding the interpretation of the treaty or the application of its provisions;
（乙）嗣後在條約適用方面確定各當事國對條約解釋之協定之任何慣例；	(b) any subsequent practice in the application of the treaty which establishes the agreement of the parties regarding its interpretation;
（丙）適用於當事國間關係之任何有關國際法規則。	(c) any relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties.
四、 倘經確定當事國有此原意，條約用語應使其具有特殊意義。	4. A special meaning shall be given to a term if it is established that the parties so intended.
第三十二條 解釋之補充資料	Article 32 Supplementary means of interpretation
為證實由適用第三十一條所得之意義起見，或遇依第三十一條作解釋而：	Recourse may be had to supplementary means of interpretation, including the preparatory work of the treaty and the circumstances of its conclusion, in order to confirm the meaning resulting from the application of article 31, or to determine the meaning when the interpretation according to article 31:
（甲）意義仍屬不明或難解；或	(a) leaves the meaning ambiguous or obscure; or
（乙）所獲結果顯屬荒謬或不合理時，為確定其意義起見，得使用解釋之補充資料，包括條約之準備工作及締約之情況在內。	(b) leads to a result which is manifestly absurd or unreasonable.
第三十三條 以兩種以上文字認證之條約之解釋	Article 33 Interpretation of treaties authenticated in two or more languages
一、條約約文經以兩種以上文字認證作準者，除依條約之規定或當事國之協議遇意義分歧時應以某種約文為根據外，每種文字之約文應同一作準。	1. When a treaty has been authenticated in two or more languages, the text is equally authoritative in each language, unless the treaty provides or the parties agree that, in case of divergence, a particular text shall prevail.
二、以認證作準文字以外之他種文字作成之條約譯本，僅於條約有此規定或當事國有此協議時，始得視為作準約文。	2. A version of the treaty in a language other than one of those in which the text was authenticated shall be considered an authentic text only if the treaty so provides or the parties so agree.
三、條約用語推定在各作準約文內意義相同。	3. The terms of the treaty are presumed to have the same meaning in each authentic text.
四、除依第一項應以某種約文為根據之情形外，倘比較作準約文後發現意義有差別而非適用第三十一條及第三十二條所能消除時，應採用顧及條約目的及宗旨之最能調和各約文之意義。	4. Except where a particular text prevails in accordance with paragraph 1, when a comparison of the authentic texts discloses a difference of meaning which the application of articles 31 and 32 does not remove, the meaning which best reconciles the texts, having regard to the object and purpose of the treaty, shall be adopted.
第四節 條約與第三國	SECTION 4. TREATIES AND THIRD STATES
第三十四條 關於第三國之通則	Article 34 General rule regarding third States
條約非經第三國同意，不為該國創設義務或權利。	A treaty does not create either obligations or rights for a third State without its consent.
第三十五條 為第三國規定義務之條約	Article 35 Treaties providing for obligations for third States
如條約當事國有意以條約之一項規定作為確立一項義務之方法，且該項義務經一第三國以書面明示接受，則該第三國即因此項規定而負有義務。	An obligation arises for a third State from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to be the means of establishing the obligation and the third State expressly accepts that obligation in writing.
第三十六條 為第三國規定權利之條約	Article 36 Treaties providing for rights for third States
一、如條約當事國有意以條約之一項規定對一第三國或其所屬一組國家或所有國家給予一項權利，而該第三國對此表示同意，則該第三國即因此項規定而享有該項權利。該第三國倘無相反之表示，應推定其表示同意，但條約另有規定者不在此限。	1. A right arises for a third State from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to accord that right either to the third State, or to a group of States to which it belongs, or to all States, and the third State assents thereto. Its assent shall be presumed so long as the contrary is not indicated, unless the treaty otherwise provides.
二、依第一項行使權利之國家應遵守條約所規定或依照條約所確定之條件行使該項權利。	2. A State exercising a right in accordance with paragraph 1 shall comply with the conditions for its exercise provided for in the treaty or established in conformity with the treaty.
第三十七條 取消或變更第三國之義務或權利	Article 37 Revocation or modification of obligations or rights of third States
一、依照第三十五條使第三國擔負義務時，該項義務必須經條約各當事國與該第三國之同意，方得取消或變更，但經確定其另有協議者不在此限。	1. When an obligation has arisen for a third State in conformity with article 35, the obligation may be revoked or modified only with the consent of the parties to the treaty and of the third State, unless it is established that they had otherwise agreed.
二、依照第三十六條使第三國享有權利時，倘經確定原意為非經該第三國同意不得取消或變更該項權利，當事國不得取消或變更之。	2. When a right has arisen for a third State in conformity with article 36, the right may not be revoked or modified by the parties if it is established that the right was intended not to be revocable or subject to modification without the consent of the third State.
第三十八條 條約所載規則由於國際習慣而成為對第三國有拘束力	Article 38 Rules in a treaty becoming binding on third States through international custom
第三十四條至第三十七條之規定不妨礙條約所載規則成為對第三國有拘束力之公認國際法習慣規則。	Nothing in articles 34 to 37 precludes a rule set forth in a treaty from becoming binding upon a third State as a customary rule of international law, recognized as such.
第四編 條約之修正與修改	PART IV. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION OF TREATIES
第三十九條 關於修正條約之通則	Article 39 General rule regarding the amendment of treaties
條約得以當事國之協議修正之。除條約可能另有規定者外，此種協議適用第二編所訂之規則。	A treaty may be amended by agreement between the parties. The rules laid down in Part II apply to such an agreement except insofar as the treaty may otherwise provide.
第四十條 多邊條約之修正	Article 40 Amendment of multilateral treaties
一、除條約另有規定外，多邊條約之修正依下列各項之規定。	1. Unless the treaty otherwise provides, the amendment of multilateral treaties shall be governed by the following paragraphs.
二、在全體當事國間修正多邊條約之任何提議必須通知全體締約國，各該締約國均應有權參加：	2. Any proposal to amend a multilateral treaty as between all the parties must be notified to all the contracting States, each one of which shall have the right to take part in:
（甲）關於對此種提議採取行動之決定；	(a) the decision as to the action to be taken in regard to such proposal;
（乙）修正條約之任何協定之談判及締結。	(b) the negotiation and conclusion of any agreement for the amendment of the treaty.
三、凡有權成為條約當事國之國家亦應有權成為修正後條約之當事國。	3. Every State entitled to become a party to the treaty shall also be entitled to become a party to the treaty as amended.
四、修正條約之協定對已為條約當事國而未成為該協定當事國之國家無拘束力；對此種國家適用第三十條第四項（乙）款。	4. The amending agreement does not bind any State already a party to the treaty which does not become a party to the amending agreement; article 30, paragraph 4 (b), applies in relation to such State.
五、凡於修正條約之協定生效後成為條約當事國之國家，倘無不同意思之表示：	5. Any State which becomes a party to the treaty after the entry into force of the amending agreement shall, failing an expression of a different intention by that State:
（甲）應視為修正後條約之當事國；並	(a) be considered as a party to the treaty as amended; and
（乙）就其對不受修正條約協定拘束之條約當事國之關係言，應視為未修正條約之當事國。	(b) be considered as a party to the unamended treaty in relation to any party to the treaty not bound by the amending agreement.
第四十一條 僅在若干當事國間修改多邊條約之協定	Article 41 Agreements to modify multilateral treaties between certain of the parties only
一、多邊條約兩個以上當事國得於下列情形下締結協定僅在彼此間修改條約：	1. Two or more of the parties to a multilateral treaty may conclude an agreement to modify the treaty as between themselves alone if:
（甲）條約內規定有作此種修改之可能者；或	(a) the possibility of such a modification is provided for by the treaty; or
（乙）有關之修改非為條約所禁止，且：	(b) the modification in question is not prohibited by the treaty and:
（一）不影響其他當事國享有條約上之權利或履行其義務者；	(i)  does not affect the enjoyment by the other parties of their rights under the treaty or the performance of their obligations;
（二）不關涉任何如予損抑即與有效實行整個條約之目的及宗旨不合之規定者。	(ii) does not relate to a provision, derogation from which is incompatible with the effective execution of the object and purpose of the treaty as a whole.
二、除屬第一項（甲）款範圍之情形條約另有規定者外，有關當事國應將其締結協定之意思及協定對條約所規定之修改，通知其他當事國。	2. Unless in a case falling under paragraph 1 (a) the treaty otherwise provides, the parties in question shall notify the other parties of their intention to conclude the agreement and of the modification to the treaty for which it provides.
第五編 條約之失效、終止及停止施行	PART V. INVALIDITY, TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION OF THE OPERATION OF TREATIES
第一節 總則	SECTION 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
第四十二條 條約之效力及繼續有效	Article 42 Validity and continuance in force of treaties
一、條約之效力或一國承受條約拘束之同意之效力僅經由本公約之適用始得加以非議。	1. The validity of a treaty or of the consent of a State to be bound by a treaty may be impeached only through the application of the present Convention.
二、終止條約，廢止條約，或一當事國退出條約，僅因該條約或本公約規定之適用結果始得為之。同一規則適用於條約之停止施行。	2. The termination of a treaty, its denunciation or the withdrawal of a party, may take place only as a result of the application of the provisions of the treaty or of the present Convention. The same rule applies to suspension of the operation of a treaty.
第四十三條 無須基於條約之國際法所加義務	Article 43 Obligations imposed by international law independently of a treaty
條約因本公約或該條約規定適用結果而失效，終止或廢止，由當事國退出，或停止施行之情形，絕不損害任何國家依國際法而毋須基於條約所負履行該條約所載任何義務之責任。	The invalidity, termination or denunciation of a treaty, the withdrawal of a party from it, or the suspension of its operation, as a result of the application of the present Convention or of the provisions of the treaty, shall not in any way impair the duty of any State to fulfil any obligation embodied in the treaty to which it would be subject under international law independently of the treaty.
第四十四條 條約之規定可否分離	Article 44 Separability of treaty provisions
一、除條約另有規定或當事國另有協議外，條約內所規定或因第五十六條所生之當事國廢止、退出或停止施行條約之權利僅得對整個條約行使之。	1. A right of a party, provided for in a treaty or arising under article 56, to denounce, withdraw from or suspend the operation of the treaty may be exercised only with respect to the whole treaty unless the treaty otherwise provides or the parties otherwise agree.
二、本公約所承認之條約失效、終止、退出或停止施行條約之理由僅得對整個條約援引之，但下列各項或第六十條所規定之情形不在此限。	2. A ground for invalidating, terminating, withdrawing from or suspending the operation of a treaty recognized in the present Convention may be invoked only with respect to the whole treaty except as provided in the following paragraphs or in article 60.
三、倘理由僅與特定條文有關，得於下列情形下僅對各該條文援引之：	3. If the ground relates solely to particular clauses, it may be invoked only with respect to those clauses where:
（甲）有關條文在適用上可與條約其餘部分分離；	(a) the said clauses are separable from the remainder of the treaty with regard to their application;
（乙）由條約可見或另經確定各該條文之接受並非另一當事國或其他當事國同意承受整個條約拘束之必要根據；及	(b) it appears from the treaty or is otherwise established that acceptance of those clauses was not an essential basis of the consent of the other party or parties to be bound by the treaty as a whole; and
（丙）條約其餘部分之繼續實施不致有失公平。	(c) continued performance of the remainder of the treaty would not be unjust.
四、在第四十九條及第五十條所稱情形下，有權援引詐欺或賄賂理由之國家得對整個條約或以不違反第三項為限專對特定條文援引之。	4. In cases falling under articles 49 and 50, the State entitled to invoke the fraud or corruption may do so with respect either to the whole treaty or, subject to paragraph 3, to the particular clauses alone.
五、在第五十一條、第五十二條及第五十三條所稱之情形下，條約之規定一概不許分離。	5. In cases falling under articles 51, 52 and 53, no separation of the provisions of the treaty is permitted.
第四十五條 喪失援引條約失效、終止、退出或停止施行條約理由之權利	Article 45 Loss of a right to invoke a ground for invalidating, terminating, withdrawing from or suspending the operation of a treaty
一國於知悉事實後而有下列情形之一者，即不得再援引第四十六條至第五十條或第六十條及第六十二條所規定條約失效、終止、退出或停止施行條約之理由：	A State may no longer invoke a ground for invalidating, terminating, withdrawing from or suspending the operation of a treaty under articles 46 to 50 or articles 60 and 62 if, after becoming aware of the facts:
（甲）該國業經明白同意條約有效，或仍然生效或繼續施行；或	(a) it shall have expressly agreed that the treaty is valid or remains in force or continues in operation, as the case may be; or
（乙）根據該國行為必須視為已默認條約之效力或條約之繼續生效或施行。	(b) it must by reason of its conduct be considered as having acquiesced in the validity of the treaty or in its maintenance in force or in operation, as the case may be.
第二節 條約之失效	SECTION 2. INVALIDITY OF TREATIES
第四十六條 國內法關於締約權限之規定	Article 46 Provisions of internal law regarding competence to conclude treaties
一、一國不得援引其同意承受條約拘束之表示為違反該國國內法關於締約權限之一項規定之事實以撤銷其同意，但違反之情事顯明且涉及其具有基本重要性之國內法之一項規則者，不在此限。	1. A State may not invoke the fact that its consent to be bound by a treaty has been expressed in violation of a provision of its internal law regarding competence to conclude treaties as invalidating its consent unless that violation was manifest and concerned a rule of its internal law of fundamental importance.
二、違反情事倘由對此事依通常慣例並秉善意處理之任何國家客觀視之為顯然可見者，即係顯明違反。	2. A violation is manifest if it would be objectively evident to any State conducting itself in the matter in accordance with normal practice and in good faith.
第四十七條 關於表示一國同意權力之特定限制	Article 47 Specific restrictions on authority to express the consent of a State
如代表表示一國同意承受某一條約拘束之權力附有特定限制，除非在其表示同意前已將此項限制通知其他談判國，該國不得援引該代表未遵守限制之事實以撤銷其所表示之同意。	If the authority of a representative to express the consent of a State to be bound by a particular treaty has been made subject to a specific restriction, his omission to observe that restriction may not be invoked as invalidating the consent expressed by him unless the restriction was notified to the other negotiating States prior to his expressing such consent.
第四十八條 錯誤	Article 48 Error
一、一國得援引條約內之錯誤以撤銷其承受條約拘束之同意，但此項錯誤以關涉該國於締結條約時假定為存在且構成其同意承受條約拘束之必要根據之事實或情勢者為限。	1. A State may invoke an error in a treaty as invalidating its consent to be bound by the treaty if the error relates to a fact or situation which was assumed by that State to exist at the time when the treaty was concluded and formed an essential basis of its consent to be bound by the treaty.
二、如錯誤係由關係國家本身行為所助成，或如當時情況足以使該國知悉有錯誤之可能，第一項不適用之。	2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply if the State in question contributed by its own conduct to the error or if the circumstances were such as to put that State on notice of a possible error.
三、僅與條約約文用字有關之錯誤，不影響條約之效力；在此情形下，第七十九條適用之。	3. An error relating only to the wording of the text of a treaty does not affect its validity; article 79 then applies.
第四十九條 詐欺	Article 49 Fraud
倘一國因另一談判國之詐欺行為而締結條約，該國得援引詐欺為理由撤銷其承受條約拘束之同意。	If a State has been induced to conclude a treaty by the fraudulent conduct of another negotiating State, the State may invoke the fraud as invalidating its consent to be bound by the treaty.
第五十條 對一國代表之賄賂	Article 50 Corruption of a representative of a State
倘一國同意承受條約拘束之表示係經另一談判國直接或間接賄賂其代表而取得，該國得援引賄賂為理由撤銷其承受條約拘束之同意。	If the expression of a State’s consent to be bound by a treaty has been procured through the corruption of its representative directly or indirectly by another negotiating State, the State may invoke such corruption as invalidating its consent to be bound by the treaty.
第五十一條 對一國代表之強迫	Article 51 Coercion of a representative of a State
一國同意承受條約拘束之表示係以行為或威脅對其代表所施之強迫而取得者，應無法律效果。	The expression of a State’s consent to be bound by a treaty which has been procured by the coercion of its representative through acts or threats directed against him shall be without any legal effect.
第五十二條 以威脅或使用武力對一國施行強迫	Article 52 Coercion of a State by the threat or use of force
條約係違反聯合國憲章所含國際法原則以威脅或使用武力而獲締結者無效。	A treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations.
第五十三條 與一般國際法強制規律（絕對法）牴觸之條約	Article 53 Treaties conflicting with a peremptory norm of general international law (“jus cogens”)
條約在締結時與一般國際法強制規律牴觸者無效。就適用本公約而言，一般國際法強制規律指國家之國際社會全體接受並公認為不許損抑且僅有以後具有同等性質之一般國際法規律始得更改之規律。	A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law. For the purposes of the present Convention, a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm 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 general international law having the same character.
第三節 條約之終止及停止施行	SECTION 3. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION OF THE OPERATION OF TREATIES
第五十四條 依條約規定或經當事國同意而終止或退出條約	Article 54 Termination of or withdrawal from a treaty under its provisions or by consent of the parties
在下列情形下，得終止條約或一當事國得退出條約：	The termination of a treaty or the withdrawal of a party may take place:
（甲）依照條約之規定；或	(a) in conformity with the provisions of the treaty; or
（乙）無論何時經全體當事國於諮商其他各締約國後表示同意。	(b) at any time by consent of all the parties after consultation with the other contracting States.
第五十五條 多邊條約當事國減少至條約生效所必需之數目以下	Article 55 Reduction of the parties to a multilateral treaty below the number necessary for its entry into force
除條約另有規定外，多邊條約並不僅因其當事國數目減少至生效所必需之數目以下而終止。	Unless the treaty otherwise provides, a multilateral treaty does not terminate by reason only of the fact that the number of the parties falls below the number necessary for its entry into force.
第五十六條 廢止或退出並無關於終止、廢止或退出規定之條約	Article 56 Denunciation of or withdrawal from a treaty containing no provision regarding termination, denunciation or withdrawal
一、條約如無關於其終止之規定，亦無關於廢止或退出之規定，不得廢止或退出，除非：	1. A treaty which contains no provision regarding its termination and which does not provide for denunciation or withdrawal is not subject to denunciation or withdrawal unless:
（甲）經確定當事國原意為容許有廢止或退出之可能；或	(a) it is established that the parties intended to admit the possibility of denunciation or withdrawal; or
（乙）由條約之性質可認為含有廢止或退出之權利。	(b) a right of denunciation or withdrawal may be implied by the nature of the treaty.
二、當事國應將其依第一項廢止或退出條約之意思至遲於十二個月以前通知之。	2. A party shall give not less than twelve months’ notice of its intention to denounce or withdraw from a treaty under paragraph 1.
第五十七條 依條約規定或經當事國同意而停止施行條約	Article 57 Suspension of the operation of a treaty under its provisions or by consent of the parties
在下列情形下，條約得對全體當事國或某一當事國停止施行：	The operation of a treaty in regard to all the parties or to a particular party may be suspended:
（甲）依照條約之規定，或	(a) in conformity with the provisions of the treaty; or
（乙）無論何時經全體當事國於諮商其他各締約國後表示同意。	(b) at any time by consent of all the parties after consultation with the other contracting States.
第五十八條 多邊條約僅經若干當事國協議而停止施行	Article 58 Suspension of the operation of a multilateral treaty by agreement between certain of the parties only
一、多邊條約兩個以上當事國得暫時並僅於彼此間締結協定停止施行條約之規定，如：	1. Two or more parties to a multilateral treaty may conclude an agreement to suspend the operation of provisions of the treaty, temporarily and as between themselves alone, if:
（甲）條約內規定有此種停止之可能；或	(a) the possibility of such a suspension is provided for by the treaty; or
（乙）有關之停止非為條約所禁止，且：	(b) the suspension in question is not prohibited by the treaty and:
（一）不影響其他當事國享有條約上之權利或履行其義務；	(i)  does not affect the enjoyment by the other parties of their rights under the treaty or the performance of their obligations;
（二）非與條約之目的及宗旨不合。	(ii) is not incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty.
二、除屬第一項（甲）款範圍之情形條約另有規定者外，有關當事國應將其締結協定之意思及條約內其所欲停止施行之規定通知其他當事國。	2. Unless in a case falling under paragraph 1 (a) the treaty otherwise provides, the parties in question shall notify the other parties of their intention to conclude the agreement and of those provisions of the treaty the operation of which they intend to suspend.
第五十九條 條約因締結後訂條約而默示終止或停止施行	Article 59 Termination or suspension of the operation of a treaty implied by conclusion of a later treaty
一、任何條約於其全體當事國就同一事項締結後訂條約，且有下列情形之一時，應視為業已終止：	1. A treaty shall be considered as terminated if all the parties to it conclude a later treaty relating to the same subject matter and:
（甲）自後訂條約可見或另經確定當事國之意思為此一事項應以該條約為準；或	(a) it appears from the later treaty or is otherwise established that the parties intended that the matter should be governed by that treaty; or
（乙）後訂條約與前訂條約之規定不合之程度使兩者不可能同時適用。	(b) the provisions of the later treaty are so far incompatible with those of the earlier one that the two treaties are not capable of being applied at the same time.
二、倘自後訂條約可見或另經確定當事國有此意思，前訂條約應僅視為停止施行。	2. The earlier treaty shall be considered as only suspended in operation if it appears from the later treaty or is otherwise established that such was the intention of the parties.
第六十條 條約因違約而終止或停止施行	Article 60 Termination or suspension of the operation of a treaty as a consequence of its breach
一、雙邊條約當事國一方有重大違約情事時，他方有權援引違約為理由終止該條約，或全部或局部停止其施行。	1. A material breach of a bilateral treaty by one of the parties entitles the other to invoke the breach as a ground for terminating the treaty or suspending its operation in whole or in part.
二、多邊條約當事國之一有重大違約情事時：	2. A material breach of a multilateral treaty by one of the parties entitles:
（甲）其他當事國有權以一致協議：	(a) the other parties by unanimous agreement to suspend the operation of the treaty in whole or in part or to terminate it either:
（一）在各該國與違約國之關係上，或	(i)  in the relations between themselves and the defaulting State; or
（二）在全體當事國之間，將條約全部或局部停止施行或終止該條約；	(ii) as between all the parties;
（乙）特別受違約影響之當事國有權援引違約為理由在其本國與違約國之關係上將條約全部或局部停止施行；	(b) a party specially affected by the breach to invoke it as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty in whole or in part in the relations between itself and the defaulting State;
（丙）如由於條約性質關係，遇一當事國對其規定有重大違反情事，致每一當事國繼續履行條約義務所處之地位因而根本改變，則違約國以外之任何當事國皆有權援引違約為理由將條約對其本國全部或局部停止施行。	(c) any party other than the defaulting State to invoke the breach as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty in whole or in part with respect to itself if the treaty is of such a character that a material breach of its provisions by one party radically changes the position of every party with respect to the further performance of its obligations under the treaty.
三、就適用本條而言，重大違約係指：	3. A material breach of a treaty, for the purposes of this article, consists in:
（甲）廢棄條約，而此種廢棄非本公約所准許者；或	(a) a repudiation of the treaty not sanctioned by the present Convention; or
（乙）違反條約規定，而此項規定為達成條約目的或宗旨所必要者。	(b) the violation of a provision essential to the accomplishment of the object or purpose of the treaty.
四、以上各項不妨礙條約內適用於違約情事之任何規定。	4. The foregoing paragraphs are without prejudice to any provision in the treaty applicable in the event of a breach.
五、第一項至第三項不適用於各人道性質之條約內所載關於保護人身之各項規定，尤其關於禁止對受此種條約保護之人採取任何方式之報復之規定。	5. Paragraphs 1 to 3 do not apply to provisions relating to the protection of the human person contained in treaties of a humanitarian character, in particular to provisions prohibiting any form of reprisals against persons protected by such treaties.
第六十一條 發生意外不可能履行	Article 61 Supervening impossibility of performance
一、倘因實施條約所必不可少之標的物永久消失或毀壞以致不可能履行條約時，當事國得援引不可能履行為理由終止或退出條約。如不可能履行係屬暫時性質，僅得援引為停止施行條約之理由。	1. A party may invoke the impossibility of performing a treaty as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from it if the impossibility results from the permanent disappearance or destruction of an object indispensable for the execution of the treaty. If the impossibility is temporary, it may be invoked only as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty.
二、倘條約不可能履行係一當事國違反條約義務或違反對條約任何其他當事國所負任何其他國際義務之結果，該當事國不得援引不可能履行為理由終止、退出或停止施行條約。	2. Impossibility of performance may not be invoked by a party as a ground for terminating, withdrawing from or suspending the operation of a treaty if the impossibility is the result of a breach by that party either of an obligation under the treaty or of any other international obligation owed to any other party to the treaty.
第六十二條 情況之基本改變	Article 62 Fundamental change of circumstances
一、條約締結時存在之情況發生基本改變而非當事國所預料者，不得援引為終止或退出條約之理由，除非：	1. A fundamental change of circumstances which has occurred with regard to those existing at the time of the conclusion of a treaty, and which was not foreseen by the parties, may not be invoked as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from the treaty unless:
（甲）此等情況之存在構成當事國同意承受條約拘束之必要根據；及	(a) the existence of those circumstances constituted an essential basis of the consent of the parties to be bound by the treaty; and
（乙）該項改變之影響將根本變動依條約尚待履行之義務之範圍。	(b) the effect of the change is radically to transform the extent of obligations still to be performed under the treaty.
二、情況之基本改變不得援引為終止或退出條約之理由：	2. A fundamental change of circumstances may not be invoked as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from a treaty:
（甲）倘該條約確定一邊界；或	(a) if the treaty establishes a boundary; or
（乙）倘情況之基本改變係援引此項理由之當事國違反條約義務或違反對條約任何其他當事國所負任何其他國際義務之結果。	(b) if the fundamental change is the result of a breach by the party invoking it either of an obligation under the treaty or of any other international obligation owed to any other party to the treaty.
三、倘根據以上各項，一當事國得援引情況之基本改變為終止或退出條約之理由，該國亦得援引該項改變為停止施行條約之理由。	3. If, under the foregoing paragraphs, a party may invoke a fundamental change of circumstances as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from a treaty it may also invoke the change as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty.
第六十三條 斷絕外交或領事關係	Article 63 Severance of diplomatic or consular relations
條約當事國間斷絕外交或領事關係不影響彼此間由條約確定之法律關係，但外交或領事關係之存在為適用條約所必不可少者不在此限。	The severance of diplomatic or consular relations between parties to a treaty does not affect the legal relations established between them by the treaty except insofar as the existence of diplomatic or consular relations is indispensable for the application of the treaty.
第六十四條 一般國際法新強制規律（絕對法）之產生	Article 64 Emergence of a new peremptory norm of general international law (“jus cogens”)
遇有新一般國際法強制規律產生時，任何現有條約之與該項規律牴觸者即成為無效而終止。	If a new peremptory norm of general international law emerges, any existing treaty which is in conflict with that norm becomes void and terminates.
第四節 程序	SECTION 4. PROCEDURE
第六十五條 關於條約失效、終止、退出條約或停止施行條約應依循之程序	Article 65 Procedure to be followed with respect to invalidity, termination, withdrawal from or suspension of the operation of a treaty
一、當事國依照本公約之規定援引其承受條約拘束之同意有誤為理由，或援引非難條約效力、終止退出或停止施行條約之理由者，必須將其主張通知其他當事國。此項通知應載明對條約所提議採取之措施及其理由。	1. A party which, under the provisions of the present Convention, invokes either a defect in its consent to be bound by a treaty or a ground for impeaching the validity of a treaty, terminating it, withdrawing from it or suspending its operation, must notify the other parties of its claim. The notification shall indicate the measure proposed to be taken with respect to the treaty and the reasons therefor.
二、在一非遇特別緊急情形不得短於自收到通知時起算三個月之期間屆滿後，倘無當事國表示反對，則發出通知之當事國得依第六十七條規定之方式，實施其所提議之措施。	2.

三、但如有任何其他當事國表示反對，當事國應藉聯合國憲章第三十三條所指示之方法以謀解決。	3. If, however, objection has been raised by any other party, the parties shall seek a solution through the means indicated in Article 33 of the Charter of the United Nations.
四、上列各項絕不影響當事國在對其有拘束力之任何關於解決爭端之現行規定下所具有之權利或義務。	4. Nothing in the foregoing paragraphs shall affect the rights or obligations of the parties under any provisions in force binding the parties with regard to the settlement of disputes.
五、以不妨礙第四十五條為限，一國未於事前發出第一項所規定之通知之事實並不阻止該國為答覆另一當事國要求其履行條約或指稱其違反條約而發出此種通知。	5. Without prejudice to article 45, the fact that a State has not previously made the notification prescribed in paragraph 1 shall not prevent it from making such notification in answer to another party claiming performance of the treaty or alleging its violation.
第六十六條 司法解決、公斷及和解之程序	Article 66 Procedures for judicial settlement, arbitration and conciliation
倘在提出反對之日後十二個月內未能依第六十五條第三項獲致解決，應依循下列程序：	If, under paragraph 3 of article 65, no solution has been reached within a period of 12 months following the date on which the objection was raised, the following procedures shall be followed:
（甲）關於第五十三條或第六十四條之適用或解釋之爭端之任一當事國得以請求書將爭端提請國際法院裁決之，但各當事國同意將爭端提交公斷者不在此限；	(a) any one of the parties to a dispute concerning the application or the interpretation of article 53 or 64 may, by a written application, submit it to the International Court of Justice for a decision unless the parties by common consent agree to submit the dispute to arbitration;

二、凡依據條約規定或第六十五條第二項或第三項規定宣告條約失效、終止、退出或停止施行條約之行為，應以文書致送其他當事國為之。倘文書未經國家元首、政府首長或外交部長簽署，得要求致送文書國家之代表出具全權證書。	2. Any act of declaring invalid, terminating, withdrawing from or suspending the operation of a treaty pursuant to the provisions of the treaty or of paragraphs 2 or 3 of article 65 shall be carried out through an instrument communicated to the other parties. If the instrument is not signed by the Head of State, Head of Government or Minister for Foreign Affairs, the representative of the State communicating it may be called upon to produce full powers.
第六十八條 撤銷第六十五條及第六十七條所規定之通知及文書	Article 68 Revocation of notifications and instruments provided for in articles 65 and 67
第六十五條或第六十七條所規定之通知或文書得在其發生效力以前隨時撤銷之。	A notification or instrument provided for in article 65 or 67 may be revoked at any time before it takes effect.

第六十九條 條約失效之後果	Article 69 Consequences of the invalidity of a treaty
一、條約依本公約確定失效者無效。條約無效者，其規定無法律效力。	1. A treaty the invalidity of which is established under the present Convention is void. The provisions of a void treaty have no legal force.
二、但如已有信賴此種條約而實施之行為，則：	2. If acts have nevertheless been performed in reliance on such a treaty:
（甲）每一當事國得要求任何其他當事國在彼此關係上儘可能恢復未實施此項行為前原應存在之狀況；	(a) each party may require any other party to establish as far as possible in their mutual relations the position that would have existed if the acts had not been performed;
（乙）在援引條約失效之理由前以善意實施之行為並不僅因條約失效而成為不合法。	(b) acts performed in good faith before the invalidity was invoked are not rendered unlawful by reason only of the invalidity of the treaty.
三、遇第四十九條、第五十條、第五十一條或第五十二條所稱之情形，第二項之規定對應就詐欺、賄賂行為或強迫負責之當事國不適用之。	3. In cases falling under article 49, 50, 51 or 52, paragraph 2 does not apply with respect to the party to which the fraud, the act of corruption or the coercion is imputable.
四、遇某一國家承受多邊條約拘束之同意成為無效之情形，上列各項規則在該國與條約當事國之關係上適用之。	4. In the case of the invalidity of a particular State’s consent to be bound by a multilateral treaty, the foregoing rules apply in the relations between that State and the parties to the treaty.
第七十條 條約終止之後果	Article 70 Consequences of the termination of a treaty
一、除條約另有規定或當事國另有協議外，條約依其規定或依照本公約終止時：	1. Unless the treaty otherwise provides or the parties otherwise agree, the termination of a treaty under its provisions or in accordance with the present Convention:
（甲）解除當事國繼續履行條約之義務；	(a) releases the parties from any obligation further to perform the treaty;
（乙）不影響當事國在條約終止前經由實施條約而產生之任何權利、義務或法律情勢。	(b) does not affect any right, obligation or legal situation of the parties created through the execution of the treaty prior to its termination.
二、倘一國廢止或退出多邊條約，自廢止或退出生效之日起，在該國與條約每一其他當事國之關係上適用第一項之規定。	2. If a State denounces or withdraws from a multilateral treaty, paragraph 1 applies in the relations between that State and each of the other parties to the treaty from the date when such denunciation or withdrawal takes effect.
第七十一條 條約因與一般國際法強制規律相牴觸而失效之後果	Article 71 Consequences of the invalidity of a treaty which conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law
一、條約依第五十三條無效者，當事國應：	1. In the case of a treaty which is void under article 53 the parties shall:
（甲）儘量消除依據與任何一般國際法強制規律相牴觸之規定所實施行為之後果；及	(a) eliminate as far as possible the consequences of any act performed in reliance on any provision which conflicts with the peremptory norm of general international law; and
（乙）使彼此關係符合一般國際法強制規律。	(b) bring their mutual relations into conformity with the peremptory norm of general international law.
二、遇有條約依第六十四條成為無效而終止之情形，條約之終止：	2. In the case of a treaty which becomes void and terminates under article 64, the termination of the treaty:
（甲）解除當事國繼續履行條約之義務；	(a) releases the parties from any obligation further to perform the treaty;
（乙）不影響當事國在條約終止前經由實施條約而產生之任何權利、義務或法律情勢；但嗣後此等權利、義務或情勢之保持僅以與一般國際法新強制規律不相牴觸者為限。	(b) does not affect any right, obligation or legal situation of the parties created through the execution of the treaty prior to its termination, provided that those rights, obligations or situations may thereafter be maintained only to the extent that their maintenance is not in itself in conflict with the new peremptory norm of general international law.
第七十二條 條約停止施行之後果	Article 72 Consequences of the suspension of the operation of a treaty
一、除條約另有規定或當事國另有協議外條約依其本身規定或依照本公約停止施行時：	1. Unless the treaty otherwise provides or the parties otherwise agree, the suspension of the operation of a treaty under its provisions or in accordance with the present Convention:
（甲）解除停止施行條約之當事國於停止施行期間在彼此關係上履行條約之義務；	(a) releases the parties between which the operation of the treaty is suspended from the obligation to perform the treaty in their mutual relations during the period of the suspension;
（乙）除此以外，並不影響條約所確定當事國間之法律關係。	(b) does not otherwise affect the legal relations between the parties established by the treaty.

第七十四條 外交及領事關係與條約之締結	Article 74 Diplomatic and consular relations and the conclusion of treaties
兩個以上國家之間斷絕外交或領事關係或無此種關係不妨礙此等國家間締結條約。條約之締結本身不影響外交或領事關係方面之情勢。	The severance or absence of diplomatic or consular relations between two or more States does not prevent the conclusion of treaties between those States. The conclusion of a treaty does not in itself affect the situation in regard to diplomatic or consular relations.
第七十五條 侵略國問題	Article 75 Case of an aggressor State
本公約之規定不妨礙因依照聯合國憲章對侵略國之侵略行為所採措施而可能引起之該國任何條約義務。	The provisions of the present Convention are without prejudice to any obligation in relation to a treaty which may arise for an aggressor State in consequence of measures taken in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations with reference to that State’s aggression.

The functions of the depositary of a treaty are international in character and the depositary is under an obligation to act impartially in their performance. In particular, the fact that a treaty has not entered into force between certain of the parties or that a difference has appeared between a State and a depositary with regard to the performance of the latter’s functions shall not affect that obligation.
