Any codification work on the topic therefore called for a thorough analysis of that legislation.

Some members of the Commission had expressed doubts as to the appropriateness of the topic for codification.

Thus the topic, like the draft articles on State responsibility, would be limited to codification of secondary rules.

His delegation was convinced of the importance of the topic and its suitability for codification and progressive development.

Libya welcomed that decision, since the topic was a very important one and one that was well suited to codification and progressive development.

Under this topic, the Commission is now focusing for the time being on codification of the law on transboundary groundwaters (aquifers and aquifer systems).

He wondered, however, whether it was desirable to embark on a codification of jus cogens as a by product of the topic under consideration.

The Commission had adopted a suitably rigorous approach in its report and had wisely decided to limit the topic to codification of secondary rules.

22. With regard to Chapter IV, on the topic of Nationality of natural persons in relation to the succession of States, the draft articles adopted on first reading seemed to provide a viable structure for the development and codification of that difficult topic.

With regard to the topic Unilateral acts of States , she welcomed the fact that the Commission, after a long period of doubt as to the possibility of effective codification of the rules on such acts, had embarked on an in depth analysis of the topic.

His delegation welcomed the forthcoming study by the Special Rapporteur and the secretariat of national laws on the topic and rulings by supreme courts with a view to identifying major trends and the main directions for the codification and progressive development of the topic.

With input from States as to current governmental views, codification could greatly advance international understanding on the topic, and update a doctrine that has been written largely for another age.

19. The topic of unilateral acts of States was appropriate for the codification and progressive development of international law and should therefore be included on the agenda of the Commission.

He therefore supported the Commission s recommendations and welcomed its decision to continue to retain the topic as one of the main items on its agenda, with a view to its progressive development and codification.

In fact, the topic of diplomatic protection was one of the few areas of traditional international law which had not yet been subject to codification despite its relevance to the Commission s major work on international liability.

49. Turning to the topic of diplomatic protection (A 52 10, chap. VIII), he expressed broad satisfaction with the Working Group s proposals. The scope of the topic would be confined to the codification of secondary rules, in other words, the basis, conditions, modalities and consequences of diplomatic protection, and would avoid the question of responsibility for injury to aliens.

His delegation doubted whether such codification was possible.

19. The Web site on the Codification, Development and Promotion of International Law (http www.un.org law lindex.htm) is maintained by the Codification Division.

Lastly, he took note with appreciation of the updated Survey of Liability Regimes prepared by the Codification Division and of a thematic presentation of comments and observations received from Governments and international organizations on the topic Responsibility of International Organizations .

64. Concerning chapter VIII of the report, she concurred with the approach proposed, namely, that the topic should be limited to codification of secondary rules and should not address the consequences of direct injury caused by one State to another.
