The International Law Commission was established in 1947 with a
view to carrying out the responsibility of the General Assembly,
under article 13(1)(a) of the Charter of the United Nations, to
'initiate studies and make recommendations for the purpose of
encouraging the progressive development of international law and
its codification.' Since its first session in 1949, the Commission
has considered a wide-range of topics of international law and made
a number of proposals for its codification and progressive
development, some of which have served as the basis for the
subsequent adoption of major multilateral treaties. The Yearbook
contains the official records of the Commission and is an
indispensable tool for the preservation of the legislative history
of the documents emanating from the Commission, as well as for the
teaching, study, dissemination and wider appreciation of the
efforts undertaken by the Commission in the progressive development
of international law and its codification. Volume II (Part Two)
reproduces the edited version of the annual report of the
Commission to the General Assembly
