Footnotes
1 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, Article 31 ‘General rule of interpretation 1. A treaty shall be interpreted in good faith in accordance with the ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of the treaty in their context and in the light of its object and purpose’.
2 An example of this comes from the case of Ghaidan v Godin-Mendoza [2004] where the meaning of non-discrimination in section 3 of the HRA was extended to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation although this was not explicitly stated on the face of the text.
