It is a great honour to receive a contribution from none other than Professor Georg Nolte, the Special Rapporteur of the International Law Commission ('I LC') on that very topic. Since 2oo8 the ILC has examined the topic 'Subsequent agreements and subsequent practice in relation to interpretation of treaties'1 and, finally, on 18 May 2018, it adopted the entire set of Draft Conclusions on its second read- ing. Subsequently, on 20 December 2018 - two days after the Kobe workshop - the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 73/202, by which it took note of the ILC's Draft Conclusions, and, furthermore, 'brought them to the attention of States and all who may be called upon to interpret treaties, and encouraged their widest possible dissemination'.2 The 2018 Kobe workshop provided us with the invaluable opportunity for ju- rists and practitioners, including public international lawjurists and aJapanese government official (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), to discuss widely the ILC's Draft Conclusions. As is the case for all previous ILC studies, the ILC's Draft Conclusions are not immune from criticism, and, aiming to provide a leading opportunity for critical analysis, the Kobe workshop was held to discuss the likely theoretical and practical issues arising from the ILC's Draft Conclusions, and, by this, to elucidate their applicability in treaty interpretation. 1 As to the drafting of the Draft Conclusions, see the ILC's website: <http://legal.un.org/ilc/ guide/i_n.shtml>. The original title of this programme of work had been 'Treaties over time' which was changed to the present title in 2012. 2 A/RES/73/202 (2o December 2018), para. 4. © KONINKLIJKE BRILL NV, LEIDEN, 2020 1 DOI:10.1163/18719732-12341417
