Summary/Abstract: While in domestic law, the sanction of invalidity is often encountered in practice in both substantive and procedural law, the same cannot be said of the sanction of invalidity in public international law. This paper aims to analyse this legal institution of public international law by identifying the main grounds for invalidity of treaties. Using the research methods of law in general and public international law in particular, by researching its sources, identifying the customs and practice of States in this area, the paper aims to demonstrate that the invalidity of international treaties is a legal sanction specific to public international law. The paper contributes to the creation of a general theory of legal sanction in public international law.
