  1. Introduction to the International Law Commission Seminar on International Courts LAW 738 -- Fall 2012 John Heywood and Chris Brantley Professors

  2. Discussion Topics/Themes • Where does Int’l law come from? (what comprises the “legislative” function in the int’l system?) • Should focus be on codification of existing state practice or “progressive development” of int’l legal solutions to pressing issues?

  3. UN Charter, Art. 13(1) “The General Assembly shall initiate studies and make recommendations for the purpose of: (a) promoting international cooperation in the political field and encouraging the progressive development of international law and its codification .”

  4. General Assembly Resolution 94(1) 11 December 1946 • Title: “Progressive Development of Int’l Law and Its Codification” • Established a committee of 17 members (nations) appointed by General Assembly, each to have one representative. • Tasked to study and report on “The methods by which the General Assembly should encourage the progressive development of int’l law and its eventual codification.”

  5. General Assembly Resolution 174(II) 21 November 1947 • Title: “Establishment of the International Law Commission” • “Recognizing the desirability of establishing a commission composed of persons of recognized competence in international law and representing as a whole the chief forms of civilization and the basic legal systems of the world.” • Provided statute for the “International Law Commission”

  6. ILC Scope/Mission (Art. 1) “1) The International Law Commission shall have for its object the promotion of the progressive development of international law and its codification .” “2) The Commission shall concern itself primarily with public international law, but it is not precluded from entering the field of private international law.”

  7. Definitions (Art. 15) • Progressive Development : “the preparation of draft conventions on subjects which have not yet been regulated by international law or in regard to which the law has not yet sufficiently developed in the practice of states.” • Codification : “The precise formulation and systemization of rules of international law in fields where there already has been extensive state practice, precedent and doctrine.”

  8. Methodology • Appoint Rapporteur to topic • Formulate plan of action: “ Programme of Work” • Circulate questionnaire to governments • Form drafting committee • Consult with experts (including scientific organizations) • Consider drafts presented by Rapporteur • Request the UN Secretary-General to issue a proposal as an ILC document

  9. Topic Initiation • ILC can set its own agenda regarding codification of existing law, but must give priority to GA requests (Art. 18). • Topics involving “progressive development” must be approved by the General Assembly: – Referral by General Assembly (Art. 16) – Referral by UN Members, qualified agencies and official bodies established by intergovernmental agreement (Art. 17)

  10. Initial 1949 “Codification” Agenda 1. Recognition of States and Governments; 2. Succession of States and Governments; 3. Jurisdictional immunities of States and their property; 4. Jurisdiction with regard to crimes committed outside national territory; 5. Regime of the high seas; Regime of territorial waters; 6. 7. Nationality, including statelessness; 8. Treatment of aliens; 9. Right of asylum; 10. Law of treaties; 11. Diplomatic intercourse and immunities; 12. Consular intercourse and immunities; 13. State responsibility; and 14. Arbitral procedure.

  12. ILC Composition • 34 members elected by General Assembly (5 year terms) • Each U.N. member state nominates up to 4 candidates, only two nationals • “persons of recognized competence in international law” • No two members being nationals of the same state (special rules for accrediting nationality of dual nationals) • “…the main forms of civilization and of the principal legal systems of the world should be assured” (Art. 8) • 1956 agreement in Sixth Committee on allocation of seats by UN regional groupings.* U.S. Rep. is Sean D.
