Force majeure

Third, regarding force majeure (article 23), although the International Law Commission's commentary indicates the applicability of the doctrine in some contexts of armed conflict, it again reiterates that force majeure operates as an excuse for non performance, not as an effect on treaties. In this regard, the commentary distinguishes force majeure from the doctrine of impossibility

Thus, the force majeure doctrine can operate automatically but serves merely as an excuse for non performance the impossibility doctrine must be invoked, but serves to justify termination or suspension of the treaty itself.

Force majeure justifies non performance of the obligation for so long as the circumstance exists supervening impossibility justifies the termination of the treaty or its suspension in accordance with the conditions laid down in article 61.

While the same facts may amount, for example, to force majeure under article 23 and to a supervening impossibility of performance under article 61 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the two are distinct.
