[on the report of the Sixth Committee (A/69/498)]
69/118. Report of the International Law Commission on the work
of its sixty-sixth session
The General Assembly,
Having considered the report of the International Law Commission on the
work of its sixty-sixth session,1
Emphasizing the importance of furthering the progressive development and
codification of international law as a means of implementing the purposes and
principles set forth in the Charter of the United Nations and in the Declaration on
Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation
among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations,2
Recognizing the desirability of referring legal and drafting questions to the
Sixth Committee, including topics that might be submitted to the International Law
Commission for closer examination, and of enabling the Sixth Committee and the
Commission to enhance further their contribution to the progressive development
and codification of international law,
Recalling the need to keep under review those topics of international law
which, given their new or renewed interest for the international community, may be
suitable for the progressive development and codification of international law and
therefore may be included in the future programme of work of the International Law
Commission,
Recalling also the role of Member States in submitting proposals for new
topics for the consideration of the International Law Commission, and noting in this
regard the recommendation of the Commission that such proposals be accompanied
by a statement of reasons,
Reaffirming the importance for the successful work of the International Law
Commission of the information provided by Member States concerning their views
and practice,
Recognizing the importance of the work of the special rapporteurs of the
International Law Commission,
