Important Improvements in the Functioning of the Principal Organs of the United Nations that Can be Made Without Charter Revision
In the last few years, many proposals have been made requiring either changes in the administration and financing of the United Nations or a revision of the Charter of the United Nations. While some progress has been made in the first category of problems, to the extent that they require primarily changes in the working of the United Nations Secretariat, it became quite obvious that a revision of the Charter is not likely to be made in the near f…
How American International Lawyers Prepared for the San Francisco Bill of Rights
Too much has been written lately about the limited approach to human rights at Dumbarton Oaks, the struggle at the San Francisco Conference, and the great flowering of declarations, conventions, covenants and instruments to implement them in the last fifty years. Instead of adding another retelling of these more than twice-told tales, this essay tries to look at the origin of two less known contributions to the law of human rights—the broad nondi…

Preparation of a New Treaty for the Settlement of International Disputes
In declaring the period 1990–1999 as the United Nations Decade of International Law, the General Assembly of the United Nations listed among the main purposes of that decade the need “to promote means and methods for the peaceful settlement of disputes between States, including resort to and full respect for the International Court of Justice”

Voting Procedures in United Nations Conferences for the Codification of International Law
The question of voting procedure in international conferences convoked to codify international law has been discussed for more than a hundred years, starting with the first Geneva Red Cross Conference in 1864. At the Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907 important departures were made from the unanimity rule in favor of near-unanimity or quasi-unanimity. Further steps toward a two-thirds rule were taken by the League of Nations in connection w…

In studying economic co-operation in Africa, it might be useful to start with an investigation of the special characteristics of African international organizations, and the effect of these characteristics on the modalities of African economic co-operation.

The Authority of the United Nations to Establish and Maintain a Permanent United Nations Force
The establishment of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNBF) during the Middle Eastern crisis in November, 1957, has been generally accepted as being a proper exercise of the powers of the United Nations.

Weighting of Votes in an International Assembly
All the plans for future world organization, whether they envisage a world government or are limited to providing agencies for better collaboration between the peoples of the world, are built around two main conceptions-a small council and a larger assembly. But the different plans disagree widely upon the powers and the make-up of these bodies. The purpose of the present article is to analyze the difficulties relating to the structure of the lar…

When the representatives of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States met at Yalta in February, 1945, the Soviet delegation raised the question of giving separate representation in the Assembly of the United Nations to the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic and to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The United States delegation agreed to support this claim at San Francisco, but reserved the right of the United States to…

Creating a Favorable World Opinion of American Foreign Policy
The United States has for a long time treated its foreign relations as a series of crises and has concentrated too much on counteracting Soviet moves. The United States must instead try to develop a positive, independent policy, the aim of which should be to create a world order in which all nations would be able to live in peace, freedom, and justice. Such a policy cannot be improvised; it must be as thoroughly prepared as that which resulted in…
