Commenting on the International Law Commission m the eighth year of its existence, Professor Julius Stone urged the conversion of the Commission from a body of learned lawyers preparing draft codes for Governments, which either do not want any code or want a code with different provisions, into an International Law Research Center for the basic problems arising in the more dynamic, changeful, and disrupted segments of international law. … [T]he International Law Commission is not destined to solve or transform the basic problems of international law and society in pursuance of its present mandate. Not even its staunchest protagonists can give to the continuance of this present mandate much more than a token, time-marking value pending the appearance of a different world situation.
