In Provisionally Applied Treaties: Their Binding Force and Legal Nature, Anneliese Quast Mertsch examines the binding force and legal nature of treaties during the period of their provisional application, a subject whose importance in practice is not reflected in the relatively little attention paid to it in academic writing. She analyses academic opinion and international practice (including especially the manifestations of the intentions of the parties) on the subject. Commonly considered as being in a class of their own, the book suggests that the binding force and legal nature of provisionally applied treaties can vary and are to be determined on a case-by-case basis, like other agreements in international law.
