codification

  
     
  The systematic presentation of rules of international law in a multilateral treaty. In principle, codification is distinct from the progressive development of the law. But in practice it is hard to codify law without at the same time introducing at least some changes to resolve uncertainties and inconsistencies. The General Assembly is charged by the UN Charter with both tasks, the detailed preparatory work on which is delegated to the International Law Commission. The Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations and on Consular Relations are successful instances of international codification.
