Netherlands Yearbook of International Law 2014: Between Pragmatism and Predictability: Temporariness in International Law: 45 (Inglese)

The Netherlands Yearbook of International Law was first published in 1970. It offers a forum for the publication of scholarly articles of a more general nature in the area of public international law including the law of the european Union.

One of the key functions or purposes of international law (and law in general for that matter) is to provide long-term stability and legal certainty.

Prima facie, one could think of two main types of temporary aspects relevant from the perspective of international law.
