International Law Commission

  
     
  The UN organ charged with the task of promoting the progressive development of international law and its codification. Established in 1947, it has twice been enlarged and now has 34 members; these sit in their individual capacity and not as representatives of their states. It meets each year for a session of 12 weeks, and works on the preparation of draft articles on topics of general international concern. These drafts are submitted to the General Assembly, which may (among other courses) decide to convene an international conference to consider a draft with a view to the conclusion of a treaty. The Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations and on Consular Relations emerged in this way.
