The ordinary meaning of the terms of the treaty should be interpreted in
good faith in their context and in light of its object and purpose.59 The Convention
Against Transnational Organized Crime (the "Convention") is the "parent
agreement" to the Protocol. 60 A State Party cannot become a signatory of the
Protocol without first becoming a member of the Convention. The Convention
therefore is an essential part of the context in which we must examine when
interpreting the provision at issue. Article 1 of the Protocol confirms that the
Protocol supplements the Convention and it shall be interpreted together with
the Convention. Therefore, when interpreting 9(4) we must consider its context
in light of the object and purpose of both the Convention and the Protocol.
