Reports of the International Law Commission

1. Report
of the International Law Commission on the Work of its fourteenth
session, 24 April to 29 June 1962
-
The Commission considered the inclusion of the topic on
the basis of General Assembly resolution 1686 (XVI) of
18 December 1961. In principle, all members of the Commission
were in favour of including the topic on its priority
list, but there were divergent views concerning the scope
of the topic and the best approach to its study. The Commission
established the Subcommittee on Succession of States and
Governments with the task preparing a preliminary report,
and made several decisions on the basis of its suggestions.

3. Report
of the International Law Commission on the work of its nineteenth
session, 8 May to 14 July 1967
-
Divided the topic into three headings: a) Succession in
respect of treaties; b) Succession in respect of rights
and duties resulting from sources other than treaties
and c) Succession in respect of membership of international
organizations. Decided to give the topic of succession
in respect of treaties a priority, and appointed Sir Humphrey
Waldock as the Special Rapporteur to deal with
succession in respect of treaties. The Commission also
appointed Mr. Mohammed Bedjaoui as Special Rapporteur
on the topic of succession in respect of rights and duties
resulting from sources other than treaties. The Commission
decided to leave aside for the time being the third aspect,
without assigning it to a Special Rapporteur.
