Evolution of the International Law Commission: The Pursuit of Functional and Structural Balance by Habip Ünyılmaz

“…This study surveys how the ILC has balanced these factors under three themes by first examining the balance between the codification of international customary law and the progressive development of international law as a functional effort. The study also evaluates its trend of preparing soft law texts rather than hard law texts, as well as the reasons and consequences these have had for the ILC. …”
