What is Pacta sunt survanda?
broader sense: States shall fulfill in good faith their international obligations → to comply
with all public international law
→ obligations assumed by States in accordance with the UN Charter; international
treaties and customs and other relevant sources of IL
→ "in good faith": according to the treaty's letter and spirit (Art. 26, Vienna Convention
