Abstract

There are divergent perspectives among the jurisprudences regarding the conclusion or non-conclusion of the international oral treaty. The formal aspect of the conclusion of the treaties considers the necessary condition that must be achieved in order to be abided by the parties. Meanwhile, another opinion suggests that it is possible to conclude an international treaty without obligating parties to formal aspects, also considering a valid and capable of defining the obligation for parties. Hence the following question arises: is it possible to conclude international treaties orally without affecting the validity of their conclusion or parties’ commitments? The research seeks to answer that question by analyzing and considering the stances of jurisprudence and judiciary, as well as the stance of the International Law Commission and international legislations, including the Charter of the United Nations and the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties in 1969.
