Treaty Interpretation addresses two important constitutional questions, whether the United States should follow the normal international legal standard in treaty interpretation rooted in the intent of the treaty parties or a new 'dual'' standard of interpretation rooted in the intent of the Senate, and whether the Senate ever has constitutional authority to attach 'domestic conditions' to treaties.This book has emerged from the work of the author as a consultant to the Arms Control Agency in preparing a detailed study on the respective views of Judge Sofaer and Senator Nunn in the 1980s 'broadnarrow' debate as to the correct interpretation of the AntiBallistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union. This debate and the subsequent revisions to the Restatement (Third International Conference) demonstrate the effect that one individual can have on the U.S. foreign policy.A glimpse of constitutional issues on treaty interpretationsProfessor Moore wrote from a personal perspective, giving your students a chance to feel the very human tension of one of the greatest debates of our time.
