{"product_id":"9789211338577","title":"The Work of the International Law Commission","description":"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 present publication is intended to provide a general introduction to the work of the International Law Commission, with sufficient references to facilitate further research. Volume I contains a discussion of the nature and role of the Commission, as well as of its programme of work, working methods and relationship with Governments and other legal bodies. It also includes a brief summary of the work undertaken on each topic considered since 1949, as well as several annexes, containing its Statute and relevant historical information about the Commission. A selected bibliography of materials related to the work of the Commission is appended. The present edition reflects the latest developments in the work of the Commission as of 31 December 2016.","brand":"United Nations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059018350832,"sku":"9789211338577","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789211338577","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
