voeu

 
     
  voeu


A recommendation, wish or view recorded at a conference to accompany a treaty but which has no binding force upon the signatories; in some circumstances it may be more or less a pious hope. The Assembly of the League of Nations, which generally took decisions on the basis of the unanimity rule (and always so in respect of important substantive matters), utilized the idea of a voeu by ruling that a decision which could be so described needed only a simple majority.
