Abstract

Exceptions to rules play an important role in law, and in particular in international law. A proper understanding of exceptions is therefore of crucial importance for legal practice, legal doctrine and legal theory. The aim of this article is to contribute to this understanding; it is not to describe the law or the present usage with regard to rules and exceptions.
