Authors

Stephen McCaffrey

Abstract

The International Law Commission of the United Nations is responsible for the codification and progressive development of international law. After some signal initial successes, the Commission has had difficulty producing products that are generally acceptable to states. This Article examines the reasons for this apparent decline and prospects for the future.
