AGLC4 Rule 8.5: Reservations or Declarations to Articles of a Treaty
A reservation or declaration a state has made about an article of a treaty is cited to the state's own instrument, such as its instrument of ratification or the domestic document containing the reservation, rather than to the treaty itself.
AGLC4 page 139
Formatting
- The instrument is cited under the rule for its own kind of source, not under the treaty rule.
- Where the instrument is foreign legislation, the italic title with its year is followed by the jurisdiction in round brackets and then the section pinpoint after a single space.
