Ambulatory interpretation of treaty terms permits domestic-law meanings at time of application, subject to contextual limits and radical-change exception. Whether a treaty reference to domestic-law terminology adopts the meaning at signature (Static) or at application (Ambulatory) depends on treaty context; domestic-law meanings may be used only if the treaty context does not supply meaning, and an ambulatory approach is limited where domestic law has undergone a radical substantive change.
