This article, which enshrines the principle of systemic integration, and its exact scope has become and continues to be a hotly debated subject in academic and judicial circles. Through an examination of both its written and unwritten elements, the author argues that the ‘proximity criterion’ is the optimal way of understanding and utilizing this provision, that conflict resolution principles may be of use within Article 31(3)(c) and finally, that the principle of systemic integration is indispensable not only for interpreting treaty provisions but customary international law as well.Queen Mary studies in international law ;Volume 17.TreatiesInterpretation and constructionInternational lawInterpretation and constructionLawInternational unificationTreatiesInterpretation and construction.International lawInterpretation and construction.LawInternational unification.341.3/7Merkouris Panos1100490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828593603321Article 31(3)(c) VCLT and the principle of systemic integration3994042UNINA
