UN Decade Objectives

Each Newsletter issue carries a restatement of the essential goals of the United Nations Decade of International Law so that new members (and seasoned ones as well) can readily recall the reason for our existence. The four essential objectives of the Decade are:
  • promoting knowledge of the substantive principles of International Law;
  • promoting peaceful settlement of disputes, including greater use of the International Court of Justice (ICJ);
  • encouraging progressive development of International Law and its codification;
  • encouraging the teaching, study, dissemination, and scholarship about International Law.
