Osminin B.I. Reservations, Understandings and Declarations in Treaty Practice of the USAAbstract: The United States characteristically exempts itself from specific treaty provisions by attaching reservations, understandings and reservations (“RUDs”) to the treaty’s ratification. The article examines the legal effects of RUDs under international law and municipal law of the United States. RUDs are designed to harmonize the treaties with existing requirements of U.S. law and to leave domestic implementation of the treaties to Congress. The article takes into account the guidelines constituting the Guide to Practice on Reservations to treaties, adopted by the International Law Commission in 2011. The Guide to Practice highlights reservations and interpretative declarations. Unilateral statements which are not reservations nor interpretative declarations do not come under the law of international treaties. Keywords: reservation, understanding, declaration, amendment, interpretative declaration, conditional interpretative declaration, valid reservation, invalid reservation, express understanding, shared understanding, implied understanding, presumption of severance.
