Dynamic interpretation of international treaties and consensus: evolution of approaches and analysis

Abstract

The changing approaches to the dynamic method of interpretation and consensus, the specifics of their application in the practice of international courts are analyzed. Comparing the development of the approaches of the IACtHR and the ECtHR in applying the dynamic method of interpretation, it is revealed that the former is less inclined to seek international legal consensus as a standard for extended interpretation. The development of dynamic interpretation of international treaties is still under development, and the legal aspects of this approach have not yet been fully defined.
