Konventsioonis

Konventsioonis is a form of the Estonian word konventsioon and means “in the convention” or “within the convention.” Konventsioon itself denotes either an international treaty or agreement, or a social norm or customary practice. The same root appears in both legal-diplomatic contexts and everyday language, where konventsioon describes established rules or standards.

In legal and diplomatic usage konventsioonis is used to refer to provisions, obligations or rights that are described in a specific convention. Examples include statements such as “Rahvusvahelises konventsioonis sätestatud kohustused on liikmesriikide jaoks siduvad” or “Käitumisõigused on konventsioonis sätestatud.” Here konventsioonis signals that the matter is governed by the text of the convention, not by general law alone. In a broader, non-legal sense, konventsioon can also mean social conventions or norms, and konventsioonis may refer to norms in effect within that broader framework, for example when discussing customary practices or accepted procedures in a given group.

Etymology and related terms: konventsioon is borrowed from French convention, via Latin conventio, and entered Estonian with meanings tied to treaties and to social norms. Related terms include konventsioon (the convention itself) and phrases such as rahvusvaheline konventsioon (international convention) or konventsiooniga seotud.
