Symposium: 50th Anniversary of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties

On May 23, 2019, the British Institute of International and Comparative Law will hold a symposium on "50th Anniversary of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties." Here's the idea:
Since its adoption in 1969 the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties has made a significant contribution to the development of international law. This event will examine current issues in the application and the interpretation of the VCLT. The topics to be considered include: treaty interpretation; reservations; the role of treaties in international relations; and the relationship between treaties and domestic law. The event will include an opening address by David H Anderson who was a member of the British Delegation to the Vienna Conference on the Law of Treaties
