Considering the fundamental role of treaties in the history of international relations,

鉴于条约在国际关系历史上之基本地位，

Recognizing the ever-increasing importance of treaties as a source of international law and as a means of developing peaceful cooperation among nations, whatever their constitutional and social systems,

承认条约为国际法渊源之一，且为各国间不分宪法及社会制度发展和平合作之工具，其重要性日益增加， Noting that the principles of free consent and of good faith and the pacta sunt servanda rule are universally recognized,

鉴悉自由同意与善意之原则以及条约必须遵守规则及举世所承认，

Affirming that disputes concerning treaties, like other international disputes, should be settled by peaceful means and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law,

确认凡关于条约之争端与其他国际争端同，皆应以和平方法且依正义及国际法之原则解决之，

Recalling the determination of the peoples of the United Nations to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties can be maintained,

念及联合国人民同兹决心创造适当环境俾克维持正义及尊重由条约而起之义务，

Having in mind the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, such as the principles of the equal rights and self-determination of peoples, of the sovereign equality and independence of all States, of non-interference in the domestic affairs of States, of the prohibition of the threat or use of force and of universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all,

鉴及联合国宪章所载之国际法原则，诸如人民平等权利及自决，所有国家主权平等及独立，不干涉各国内政，禁止使用威胁或武力以及普遍尊重与遵守全体人类之人权及基本自由等原则。

Believing that the codification and progressive development of the law of treaties achieved in the present Convention will promote the purposes of the United Nations set forth in the Charter, namely, the maintenance of international peace and security, the development of friendly relations and the achievement of cooperation among nations,

深信本公约所达成之条约法之编纂及逐渐发展可促进宪章所揭示之联合国宗旨，即维持国际和平与安全，发展国际间之友好关系并达成其彼此合作，

Affirming that the rules of customary international law will continue to govern questions not regulated by the provisions of the present Convention,

确认凡未经本公约各条规定之问题，将仍以国际习惯法规则为准，

一、凡为条约明示准许之保留，无须其他缔约国事后予以接受，但条约规定须如此办理者，不在此限。

2. When it appears from the limited number of the negotiating States and the object and purpose of a treaty that the application of the treaty in its entirety between all the parties is an essential condition of the consent of each one to be bound by the treaty, a reservation requires acceptance by all the parties.

二、倘自谈判国之有限数目及条约之目的与宗旨，可见在全体当事国间适用全部条约为每一当事国同意承受条约拘束之必要条件时，保留须经全体当事国接受。

3. When a treaty is a constituent instrument of an international organization and unless it otherwise provides, a reservation requires the acceptance of the competent organ of that organization.

三、倘条约为国际组织之组织约章，除条约另有规定外，保留须经该组织主管机关接受。

4. In cases not falling under the preceding paragraphs and unless the treaty otherwise provides:

四、凡不属以上各项所称之情形，除条约另有规定外：

（甲）保留经另一缔约国接受，就该另一缔约国而言，保留国即成为条约之当事国，但须条约对各该国均已生效；

(b) an objection by another contracting State to a reservation does not preclude the entry into force of the treaty as between the objecting and reserving States unless a contrary intention is definitely expressed by the objecting State;

（乙）保留经另一缔约国反对，则条约在反对国与保留国间并不因此而不生效力，但反对国确切表示相反之意思者不在此限；

(c) an act expressing a State’s consent to be bound by the treaty and containing a reservation is effective as soon as at least one other contracting State has accepted the reservation.

（丙）表示一国同意承受条约拘束而附以保留之行为，一俟至少有另一缔约国接受保留，即发生效力。

5. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 4 and unless the treaty otherwise provides, a reservation is considered to

have been accepted by a State if it shall have raised no objection to the reservation by the end of a period of twelve months after it was notified of the reservation or by the date on which it expressed its consent to be bound by the treaty, whichever is later.

五、就适用第二项与第四项而言，除条约另有规定外，倘一国在接获关于保留之通知后十二个月期间届满时或至其表示同意承受条约拘束之日为止，两者中以较后之日期为准，迄未对保留提出反对，此项保留即视为业经该国接受。

(b) modifies those provisions to the same extent for that other party in its relations with the reserving State. （乙）对该另一当事国而言，其与保留国之关系上照同一范围修改此等规定。

2. The reservation does not modify the provisions of the treaty for the other parties to the treaty inter se.

二、此项保留在条约其他当事国相互间不修改条约之规定。

3. When a State objecting to a reservation has not opposed the entry into force of the treaty between itself and the reserving State, the provisions to which the reservation relates do not apply as between the two States to the extent of the reservation.

三、倘反对保留之国家未反对条约在其本国与保留国间生效，此项保留所关涉之规定在保留之范围内于该两国间不适用之。

Article 22 Withdrawal of reservations and of objections to reservations

第二十二条 撤回保留及撤回对保留提出之反对

1. Unless the treaty otherwise provides, a reservation may be withdrawn at any time and the consent of a State which has accepted the reservation is not required for its withdrawal.

2. If formulated when signing the treaty subject to ratification, acceptance or approval, a reservation must be

formally confirmed by the reserving State when expressing its consent to be bound by the treaty. In such a case the reservation shall be considered as having been made on the date of its confirmation.

二、保留系在签署须经批准、接受或赞同之条约时提具者，必须由保留国在表示同意承受条约拘束时正式确认。遇此情形，此项保留应视为在其确认之日提出。

3. An express acceptance of, or an objection to, a reservation made previously to confirmation of the reservation does not itself require confirmation.

三、明示接受保留或反对保留系在确认保留前提出者，其本身无须经过确认。

3. When all the parties to the earlier treaty are parties also to the later treaty but the earlier treaty is not terminated or suspended in operation under article 59, the earlier treaty applies only to the extent that its provisions are compatible with those of the later treaty.

三、遇先订条约全体当事国亦为后订条约当事国但不依第五十九条终止或停止施行先订条约时，先订条

约仅于其规定与后订条约规定相合之范围内适用之。

4. When the parties to the later treaty do not include all the parties to the earlier one:

四、遇后订条约之当事国不包括先订条约之全体当事国时：

(a) as between States Parties to both treaties the same rule applies as in paragraph 3;

（甲）在同为两条约之当事国间，适用第三项之同一规则；

(b) as between a State party to both treaties and a State party to only one of the treaties, the treaty to which both States are parties governs their mutual rights and obligations.

（乙）在为两条约之当事国与仅为其中一条约之当事国间彼此之权利与义务依两国均为当事国之条约定之。

5. Paragraph 4 is without prejudice to article 41, or to any question of the termination or suspension of the operation of a treaty under article 60 or to any question of responsibility which may arise for a State from the conclusion or application of a treaty the provisions of which are incompatible with its obligations towards another State under another treaty.

五、第四项不妨碍第四十一条或依第六十条终止或停止施行条约之任何问题，或一国因缔结或适用一条约而其规定与该国依另一条约对另一国之义务不合所生之任何责任问题。

Article 32 Supplementary means of interpretation

第三十二条 解释之补充资料

Recourse may be had to supplementary means of interpretation, including the preparatory work of the treaty and the circumstances of its conclusion, in order to confirm the meaning resulting from the application of article 31, or to determine the meaning when the interpretation according to article 31:

为证实由适用第三十一条所得之意义起见，或遇依第三十一条作解释而：

(a) leaves the meaning ambiguous or obscure; or

（甲）意义仍属不明或难解；或

(b) leads to a result which is manifestly absurd or unreasonable.

Article 33 Interpretation of treaties authenticated in two or more languages

第三十三条 以两种以上文字认证之条约之解释

1. When a treaty has been authenticated in two or more languages, the text is equally authoritative in each language, unless the treaty provides or the parties agree that, in case of divergence, a particular text shall prevail.

一、条约约文经以两种以上文字认证作准者，除依条约之规定或当事国之协议遇意义分歧时应以某种约文为根据外，每种文字之约文应同一作准。

2. A version of the treaty in a language other than one of those in which the text was authenticated shall be considered an authentic text only if the treaty so provides or the parties so agree.

二、以认证作准文字以外之他种文字作成之条约译本，仅于条约有此规定或当事国有此协议时，始得视为作准约文。

3. The terms of the treaty are presumed to have the same meaning in each authentic text.

三、条约用语推定在各作准约文内意义相同。

4. Except where a particular text prevails in accordance with paragraph 1, when a comparison of the authentic texts discloses a difference of meaning which the application of articles 31 and 32 does not remove, the meaning which best reconciles the texts, having regard to the object and purpose of the treaty, shall be adopted.

四、除依第一项应以某种约文为根据之情形外，倘比较作准约文后发现意义有差别而非适用第三十一条及第三十二条所能消除时，应采用顾及条约目的及宗旨之最能调和各约文之意义。

SECTION 4. TREATIES AND THIRD STATES

第四节 条约与第三国

Article 34 General rule regarding third States

第三十四条 关于第三国之通则

A treaty does not create either obligations or rights for a third State without its consent.

条约非经第三国同意，不为该国创设义务或权利。

Article 35 Treaties providing for obligations for third States

第三十五条 为第三国规定义务之条约

An obligation arises for a third State from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to be the means of establishing the obligation and the third State expressly accepts that obligation in writing.

如条约当事国有意以条约之一项规定作为确立一项义务之方法，且该项义务经一第三国以书面明示接受，则该第三国即因此项规定而负有义务。

Article 36 Treaties providing for rights for third States

第三十六条 为第三国规定权利之条约

1. A right arises for a third State from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to accord that right either to the third State, or to a group of States to which it belongs, or to all States, and the third State assents thereto. Its assent shall be presumed so long as the contrary is not indicated, unless the treaty otherwise provides.

一、如条约当事国有意以条约之一项规定对一第三国或其所属一组国家或所有国家给予一项权利，而该第三国对此表示同意，则该第三国即因此项规定而享有该项权利。该第三国倘无相反之表示，应推定其表示同意，但条约另有规定者不在此限。

2. A State exercising a right in accordance with paragraph 1 shall comply with the conditions for its exercise provided for in the treaty or established in conformity with the treaty.

二、依照第三十六条使第三国享有权利时，倘经确定原意为非经该第三国同意不得取消或变更该项权利，当事国不得取消或变更之。

Article 38 Rules in a treaty becoming binding on third States through international custom

第三十八条 条约所载规则由于国际习惯而成为对第三国有拘束力

Nothing in articles 34 to 37 precludes a rule set forth in a treaty from becoming binding upon a third State as a customary rule of international law, recognized as such.

第三十四条至第三十七条之规定不妨碍条约所载规则成为对第三国有拘束力之公认国际法习惯规则。

PART IV. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION OF TREATIES

第四编 条约之修正与修改

Article 39 General rule regarding the amendment of treaties

第三十九条 关于修正条约之通则

（乙）修正条约之任何协定之谈判及缔结。

3. Every State entitled to become a party to the treaty shall also be entitled to become a party to the treaty as amended.

三、凡有权成为条约当事国之国家亦应有权成为修正后条约之当事国。

4. The amending agreement does not bind any State already a party to the treaty which does not become a party to the amending agreement; article 30, paragraph 4 (b), applies in relation to such State.

四、修正条约之协定对已为条约当事国而未成为该协定当事国之国家无拘束力；对此种国家适用第三十条第四项（乙）款。

5. Any State which becomes a party to the treaty after the entry into force of the amending agreement shall, failing an expression of a different intention by that State:

五、凡于修正条约之协定生效后成为条约当事国之国家，倘无不同意思之表示：

2. The termination of a treaty, its denunciation or the withdrawal of a party, may take place only as a result of the application of the provisions of the treaty or of the present Convention. The same rule applies to suspension of the operation of a treaty.

二、终止条约、废止条约，或一当事国退出条约，仅因该条约或本公约规定之适用结果始得为之。同一规则适用于条约之停止施行。

Article 43 Obligations imposed by international law independently of a treaty

第四十三条 无须基于条约之国际法所加义务

The invalidity, termination or denunciation of a treaty, the withdrawal of a party from it, or the suspension of its operation, as a result of the application of the present Convention or of the provisions of the treaty, shall not in any way impair the duty of any State to fulfil any obligation embodied in the treaty to which it would be subject under international law independently of the treaty.

条约因本公约或该条约规定适用结果而失效、终止或废止，由当事国退出，或停止施行之情形，绝不损害任何国家依国际法而毋须基于条约所负履行该条约所载任何义务之责任。

Article 44 Separability of treaty provisions

第四十四条 条约之规定可否分离

1. A right of a party, provided for in a treaty or arising under article 56, to denounce, withdraw from or suspend the operation of the treaty may be exercised only with respect to the whole treaty unless the treaty otherwise provides or the parties otherwise agree.

一、除条约另有规定或当事国另有协议外，条约内所规定或因第五十六条所生之当事国废止、退出或停止施行条约之权利仅得对整个条约行使之。

2. A ground for invalidating, terminating, withdrawing from or suspending the operation of a treaty recognized in the present Convention may be invoked only with respect to the whole treaty except as provided in the following paragraphs or in article 60.

三、倘理由仅与特定条文有关，得于下列情形下仅对各该条文援引之：

(a) the said clauses are separable from the remainder of the treaty with regard to their application;

（甲）有关条文在适用上可与条约其余部分分离；

(b) it appears from the treaty or is otherwise established that acceptance of those clauses was not an essential basis of the consent of the other party or parties to be bound by the treaty as a whole; and

（乙）由条约可见或另经确定各该条文之接受并非另一当事国或其他当事国同意承受整个条约拘束之必要根据；及

(c) continued performance of the remainder of the treaty would not be unjust.

（丙）条约其余部分之继续实施不致有失公平。

4. In cases falling under articles 49 and 50, the State entitled to invoke the fraud or corruption may do so with respect either to the whole treaty or, subject to paragraph 3, to the particular clauses alone.

四、在第四十九条及第五十条所称情形下，有权援引诈欺或贿赂理由之国家得对整个条约或以不违反第三项为限专对特定条文援引之。

(a) it shall have expressly agreed that the treaty is valid or remains in force or continues in operation, as the case may be; or

（甲）该国业经明白同意条约有效，或仍然生效或继续施行；或

(b) it must by reason of its conduct be considered as having acquiesced in the validity of the treaty or in its maintenance in force or in operation, as the case may be.

（乙）根据该国行为必须视为已默认条约之效力或条约之继续生效或施行。

SECTION 2. INVALIDITY OF TREATIES

第二节 条约之失效

Article 46 Provisions of internal law regarding competence to conclude treaties

第四十六条 国内法关于缔约权限之规定

1. A State may not invoke the fact that its consent to be bound by a treaty has been expressed in violation of a provision of its internal law regarding competence to conclude treaties as invalidating its consent unless that violation was manifest and concerned a rule of its internal law of fundamental importance.

一、一国不得援引其同意承受条约拘束之表示为违反该国国内法关于缔约权限之一项规定之事实以撤销其同意，但违反之情事显明且涉及其具有基本重要性之国内法之一项规则者，不在此限。

2. A violation is manifest if it would be objectively evident to any State conducting itself in the matter in accordance with normal practice and in good faith.

二、违反情事倘由对此事依通常惯例并秉善意处理之任何国家客观视之为显然可见者，即系显明违反。

Article 47 Specific restrictions on authority to express the consent of a State

第四十七条 关于表示一国同意权力之特定限制

If the authority of a representative to express the consent of a State to be bound by a particular treaty has been made subject to a specific restriction, his omission to observe that restriction may not be invoked as invalidating the consent expressed by him unless the restriction was notified to the other negotiating States prior to his expressing such consent.

如代表表示一国同意承受某一条约拘束之权力附有特定限制，除非在其表示同意前已将此项限制通知其他谈判国，该国不得援引该代表未遵守限制之事实以撤销其所表示之同意。

Article 48 Error

第四十八条 错误

1. A State may invoke an error in a treaty as invalidating its consent to be bound by the treaty if the error relates to a fact or situation which was assumed by that State to exist at the time when the treaty was concluded and formed an essential basis of its consent to be bound by the treaty.

一、一国得援引条约内之错误以撤销其承受条约拘束之同意，但此项错误以关涉该国于缔结条约时假定为存在且构成其同意承受条约拘束之必要根据之事实或情势者为限。

2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply if the State in question contributed by its own conduct to the error or if the

circumstances were such as to put that State on notice of a possible error.

二、如错误系由关系国家本身行为所助成，或如当时情况足以使该国知悉有错误之可能，第一项不适用之。

3. An error relating only to the wording of the text of a treaty does not affect its validity; article 79 then applies.

三、仅与条约约文用字有关之错误，不影响条约之效力，在此情形下，第七十九条适用之。

Article 49 Fraud

第四十九条 诈欺

If a State has been induced to conclude a treaty by the fraudulent conduct of another negotiating State, the State may invoke the fraud as invalidating its consent to be bound by the treaty.

倘一国因另一谈判国之诈欺行为而缔结条约，该国得援引诈欺为理由撤销其承受条约拘束之同意。

Article 50 Corruption of a representative of a State

第五十条 对一国代表之贿赂

If the expression of a State’s consent to be bound by a treaty has been procured through the corruption of its representative directly or indirectly by another negotiating State, the State may invoke such corruption as invalidating its consent to be bound by the treaty.

倘一国同意承受条约拘束之表示系经另一谈判国直接或间接贿赂其代表而取得，该国得援引贿赂为理由撤销其承受条约拘束之同意。

Article 51 Coercion of a representative of a State

第五十一条 对一国代表之强迫

The expression of a State’s consent to be bound by a treaty which has been procured by the coercion of its representative through acts or threats directed against him shall be without any legal effect.

一国同意承受条约拘束之表示系以行为或威胁对其代表所施之强迫而取得者，应无法律效果。

Article 52 Coercion of a State by the threat or use of force

第五十二条 以威胁或使用武力对一国施行强迫

A treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations.

条约系违反联合国宪章所含国际法原则以威胁或使用武力而获缔结者无效。

Article 53 Treaties conflicting with a peremptory norm of general international law (“jus cogens”)

第五十三条 与一般国际法强制规律（绝对法）抵触之条约

A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law. For the purposes of the present Convention, a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character.

条约在缔结时与一般国际法强制规律抵触者无效。就适用本公约而言，一般国际法强制规律指国家之国际社会全体接受并公认为不许损抑且仅有以后具有同等性质之一般国际法规律始得更改之规律。

SECTION 3. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION OF THE OPERATION OF TREATIES

第三节 条约之终止及停止施行

Article 54 Termination of or withdrawal from a treaty under its provisions or by consent of the parties

第五十四条 依条约规定或经当事国同意而终止或退出条约

Article 55 Reduction of the parties to a multilateral treaty below the number necessary for its entry into force 第五十五条 多边条约当事国减少至条约生效所必需之数目以下

Unless the treaty otherwise provides, a multilateral treaty does not terminate by reason only of the fact that the number of the parties falls below the number necessary for its entry into force.

除条约另有规定外，多边条约并不仅因其他当事国数目减少至生效所必需之数目以下而终止。

Article 56 Denunciation of or withdrawal from a treaty containing no provision regarding termination, denunciation or withdrawal

第五十六条 废止或退出并无关于终止、废止或退出规定之条约

1. A treaty which contains no provision regarding its termination and which does not provide for denunciation or withdrawal is not subject to denunciation or withdrawal unless:

一、条约如无关于其终止之规定，亦无关于废止或退出之规定，不得废止或退出，除非：

(a) it is established that the parties intended to admit the possibility of denunciation or withdrawal; or （甲）经确定当事国原意为容许有废止或退出之可能；或

(b) a right of denunciation or withdrawal may be implied by the nature of the treaty.

（乙）由条约之性质可认为含有废止或退出之权利。

二、当事国应将其依第一项废止或退出条约之意思至迟于十二个月以前通知之。

Article 57 Suspension of the operation of a treaty under its provisions or by consent of the parties

第五十七条 依条约规定或经当事国同意而停止施行条约

The operation of a treaty in regard to all the parties or to a particular party may be suspended:

在下列情形下，条约得对全体当事国或某一当事国停止施行：

(a) in conformity with the provisions of the treaty; or

（甲）依照条约之规定；或

(b) at any time by consent of all the parties after consultation with the other contracting States.

（乙）无论何时经全体当事国于谘商其他各缔约国后表示同意。

Article 58 Suspension of the operation of a multilateral treaty by agreement between certain of the parties only 第五十八条 多边条约仅经若干当事国协议而停止施行

1. Two or more parties to a multilateral treaty may conclude an agreement to suspend the operation of provisions of the treaty, temporarily and as between themselves alone, if:

一、多边条约两个以上当事国得暂时并仅于彼此间缔结协定停止施行条约之规定，如

(a) the possibility of such a suspension is provided for by the treaty; or

（甲）条约内规定有此种停止之可能，或

(b) the suspension in question is not prohibited by the treaty and:

（乙）有关之停止非为条约所禁止，且：

(i) does not affect the enjoyment by the other parties of their rights under the treaty or the performance of their obligations;

（一）不影响其他当事国享有条约上之权利或履行其义务；

(ii) is not incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty.

（二）非与条约之目的及宗旨不合。

2. Unless in a case falling under paragraph 1 (a) the treaty otherwise provides, the parties in question shall notify the other parties of their intention to conclude the agreement and of those provisions of the treaty the operation of which they intend to suspend.

二、除属第一项（甲）款范围之情形条约另有规定者外，有关当事国应将其缔结协定之意思及条约内所欲停止施行之规定通知其他当事国。

Article 59 Termination or suspension of the operation of a treaty implied by conclusion of a later treaty

第五十九条 条约因缔结后订条约而默示终止或停止施行

1. A treaty shall be considered as terminated if all the parties to it conclude a later treaty relating to the same subject matter and:

一、任何条约于其全体当事国就同一事项缔结后订条约，且有下列情形之一时，应视为业已终止：

(a) it appears from the later treaty or is otherwise established that the parties intended that the matter should be governed by that treaty; or

（甲）自后订条约可见或另经确定当事国之意思为此一事项应以该条约为准；或

(b) the provisions of the later treaty are so far incompatible with those of the earlier one that the two treaties are not capable of being applied at the same time.

（乙）后订条约与前订条约之规定不合之程度使两者不可能同时适用。

2. The earlier treaty shall be considered as only suspended in operation if it appears from the later treaty or is otherwise established that such was the intention of the parties.

二、倘自后订条约可见或另经确定当事国有此意思，前订条约应仅视为停止施行。

Article 60 Termination or suspension of the operation of a treaty as a consequence of its breach

（一）在各该国与违约国之关系上，或

(ii) as between all the parties;

（二）在全体当事国之间，

(b) a party specially affected by the breach to invoke it as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty in whole or in part in the relations between itself and the defaulting State;

（乙）特别受违约影响之当事国有权援引违约为理由在其本国与违约国之关系上将条约全部或局部停止施行；

(c) any party other than the defaulting State to invoke the breach as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty in whole or in part with respect to itself if the treaty is of such a character that a material breach of its provisions by one party radically changes the position of every party with respect to the further performance of its

obligations under the treaty.

（丙）如由于条约性质关系，遇一当事国对其规定有重大违反情事，致每一当事国继续履行条约义务所处之地位因而根本改变，则违约国以外之任何当事国皆有权援引违约为理由将条约对其本国全部或局部停止施行。

第六十一条 发生意外不可能履行

1. A party may invoke the impossibility of performing a treaty as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from it if the impossibility results from the permanent disappearance or destruction of an object indispensable for the execution of the treaty.

一、条约缔结时存在之情况发生基本改变而非当事国所预料者，不得援引为终止或退出条约之理由，除非： (a) the existence of those circumstances constituted an essential basis of the consent of the parties to be bound by the treaty; and

（甲）此等情况之存在构成当事国同意承受条约拘束之必要根据；及

(b) the effect of the change is radically to transform the extent of obligations still to be performed under the treaty. （乙）该项改变之影响将根本变动依条约尚待履行之义务之范围。

Article 63 Severance of diplomatic or consular relations

第六十三条 断绝外交或领事关系

The severance of diplomatic or consular relations between parties to a treaty does not affect the legal relations established between them by the treaty except insofar as the existence of diplomatic or consular relations is indispensable for the application of the treaty.
