The Explanatory Report provides the authoritative and most comprehensive explanations of the Convention and its operation. It comprises two parts: the General Introduction (Part A)and the Commentary on the Articles of the Convention (Part B). Part A provides a useful overview of the Convention including a brief history of the negotiations, as well as the Convention’s key features. Part B provides a full, article-by-article commentary of the Convention text, which is complemented by various practical examples to more effectively illustrate the operation of the provisions.
