Abstract
These 28 documents, ranging from formal Exchanges of Notes and agreed Memoranda of Consultations to statements of interpretation by one side or the other and correspondence between the two parties, show how the Treaty was amended or interpreted through the course of its 30-year life. As well as adding a further dimension to our understanding of the Treaty’s life, these documents constitute a fascinating and instructive case study in the use of ‘hard law’ and ‘soft law’ in the regulation of a significant international industry.
