The law of treaties is fundamental to public international law generally and the majority of public international law options are very heavily dependent upon treaty-based material in terms of their subject-matter. A significant element of European law is also treaty-based, and even private, commercial transactions are increasingly governed by rules deriving from international agreements. Knowledge and understanding of the law of treaties is therefore fundamental to the study of international law as a whole.
