Summary/Abstract: Although international law of the treaties has be­en benefiting for more than thirty years from its suc­cessful codification, the practice has revealed uncerta­inties and ambiguities with regard to implementation of some parts of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This particularly relates to the regi­me of reservations where the law suffers from two key problems. In view of the aforementianed problems, the United Natians General Assembly autharized the UN Interna­tional Law Commission in 1993 to work out a guide to practice, which would take the form of draft articles whose provisians would be guidelines for the practice of States and international arganizatians in respect of reservations. The Internatianal Law Cammissian commenced its substantive work on the topic in 1995. The purpase of the presented article is to analyze the results of the Commission's work up to now and ex­plain the essence of remaining problems, which are to be dealt with by the Commission in the near future.
