The Government of Bolivia maintains, in agreement with the context of the Bogotá Charter, that “the respect for and the faithful observance of treaties” which is upheld in Articles 5 and 14 as a standard of international relations, does not exclude the revision of those articles by the peaceful procedures which are referred to in Articles 21, 22, and 23 of that Charter, when they affect the fundamental rights of States.

United States:
