The Codification Division of the Office of Legal Affairs, in its capacity as Secretariat of the International Law Commission, prepared a comprehensive and annotated Analytical Guide to the Work of the International Law Commission, covering the period of work 1949 to 1997, in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the International Law Commission in 1998, and to complement the publication, The Work of the International Law Commission, now in its sixth edition. The Guide is intended to serve as a research tool for researchers and academics to evaluate the Commission's contribution to the codification and progressive development of international law during its first fifty years of existence.

The Guide is organized by topics, subdivided into categories and stages of consideration within the Commission; thus allowing the reader to trace the development of each and every topic from inception to conclusion. A brief description of the Commission's treatment is provided, together with references to source material including the Yearbook of the International Law Commission, the Report of the International Law Commission, and the reports of the Special Rapporteurs.

An online version of the Analytical Guide to the Work of the International Law Commission is available on this web site
