UN DECADE OBJECTIVES:

Each Newsletter issue carries a restatement of the essential goals of the 1990-1999) United Nations Decade of International Law. Mew members, and seasoned ones as well, can readily identify the reason for our existence. The four essential objectives of the Decade, and our continuing existence, are:

• Promoting acceptance 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 wider acceptance of International Law.
