- Summary:
- "Jeffrey S. Morton suggests that despite fifty years of operation and an impressive list of successes, the International Law Commission of the United Nations remains one of the world's least understood and appreciated legal institutions. In this appraisal of the organization, Morton sheds light on its functions and the process by which it pursues its stated goals of codifying and developing international law. He addresses the dearth of systematic analysis of the commission's work and specifically considers its progress on two monumental tasks: the establishment of a binding code of international crimes and the creation of a standing international court."--Jacket.
