The authors reflect on how these treaties differ from the other international treaties and what is specific about them. Furthermore, the paper is focused on selected issues of contracts in the field of armament control and disarmament, connected with the conclusion of the treaties and in particular the suspension of treaties, withdrawal of the contracting party from the treaty, and termination of its validity. These questions are analysed in terms of the special provisions of the treaties on arms control and disarmament and also in terms of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969. The article also deals with the relationship between the general provisions of the Vienna Convention and the special provisions of the treaties on arms control and disarmament.
