Mr. Asamoah's book is concerned with an area of growing importance
in the evolution of contemporary international law. The traditional
division of the sources of International law into custom and
treaties has already been supplemented in Article 38 of the Statute
of the International Court of Justice by the "general principles of
law re cognized by civilized nations" and-as subsidiary sources,
the judicial decisions and the teachings of highly qualified
publicists. But in order to cope with the diversity of
international law in our time, we have to look to a far greater
variety of sources of international law, and we shall have to
recognize that, in accordance with the many-sided character of
international law, these sources may vary greatly in intensity. In
recent years, Declaratory Resolutions of the General Assembly have
been much concerned with the general princi ples of international
law. Sometimes these Declarations are interpre tations of the
Charter and other instruments; sometimes they are evi dence of
state practice and a developing customary international law ;
sometimes they formulate new principles which, in some cases will
eventually lead to international treaties or new custom, or in
other cases will be accepted as authorative statements of
international legal principles, in circumstances where a formal
treaty cannot be attained. There are many reasons--often of an
internal character-which prevent the conclusion of a treaty but not
the acceptance of the principles contained in it.
