1. Report
of the International Law Commission on the work of its first
session, 12 April to 9 June 1949
-
At its first session, in 1949, the Commission reviewed
the topic on the basis of the memorandum prepared by
the Secretariat. The topic was included in the Commission's
provisional list of fourteen topics selected for codification.
During the discussion on Rights and Duties of States,
a proposal was submitted to include in the draft Declaration
an article relating to the right of asylum. It was finally
decided not to include such an article. Instead, Mr.
Yepes was subsequently invited to prepare a working
paper on this topic, for submission to the Commission
at its second session.

2. Report
of the International Law Commission on the work of its second
session, 5 June to 19 July 1950
-
At its first session, in 1949, the Commission had invited
Mr. M. Yepes to prepare, for its consideration, a working
paper on the topic of the right of asylum (33rd mtg on
3 June 1949). At the beginning of the second
session, Mr. Yepes stated that, in view of the fact that
a case involving the right of asylum was pending before
the International Court of Justice, he would postpone
the submission of his working paper which had already
been prepared. The Commission accordingly decided not
to include the topic in the agenda of its second
session.
