Abstract
<br>This article represents the first stage of a larger investigative project. Its principal aim is to prepare the ground for a systematic legal-historical examination of a particular international legal document - General Comment No. 24 issued by the Human Rights Committee in November 1994. The immediate goal behind the exercise is to develop a critically-inflected reading of this document by conceptualising it as a legal-historical event.</br> <br>The article combines a close textualist examination of the General Comment with an extensive critical deconstructive exercise, by placing the Comment's core arguments against the background of the broader historical trajectory of the modern law of reservations. Drawing on the methodologies of comparative legal history, Baudrillard's theory of signs, and some basic law and economics, it tries to uncover the main structural components behind its 'vision' so as to establish its relationship to the rest of the 'law of reservations' discourse and grasp its wider significance for the evolution of the modern law of treaties. </br> <br>Written in 2011, this article was eventually published in 2013 in the 2009 volume of the Austrian Review of International and European Law.</br>
