Abstract
A preamble in general “provides an introductory statement or preliminary explanation of the instrument, often as to its history and the parties’ intentions, namely, the purpose of and the motives for concluding the treaty and the values underlying the instrument.” It is an important source for the interpretation of the treaty and, in particular, helps in identifying its object and purpose. It thus precedes and introduces the operational part of the agreement without containing operational provisions itself.
