This study is an attempt to discern what the United Nations has done to encourage the progressive development of international law and its codification during the first fifteen years of its operation. Only substantive quesitons of international law have been examined. They include the Convention on Genocide. Nuremberg Principles, International Criminal Court, Definition of Aggression, Rights and Duties of States, Arbitral Procedures, Law of the Sea and Reservation to Multilatereal Conventions. Although an organization is what its members make it, the fact that members of the United Nations work under instructions from their governments is not a bar to defining in legal terms questions that come before it. This meticulously researched study will prove invaluable to students, schoalrs, diplomats, members of the delegations attending the annual session of the General Assembly and other with a keen interest in the development of itnernational law.
