Abstract: This paper address issues related to one of the most important, if not the most important, source of public international law, which is international treaties. The aim of this article is to characterize this source of international law by identifying its defining features and describing its essential attributes (modes of origination and extinction), as well as to abstract from current international law and the analysis of the identified characteristics of international treaties the basic principles that apply to this legal institute. To the best of our knowledge, these principles have not yet been treated in this way in the professional and scientific literature, which is where we see the main contribution of this article. The article is accompanied by an analysis that aims to examine the legal nature, origination and possible extinction of one of the most debated international documents today – the so-called Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994 by Ukraine, Russia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
