The settlement of international disputes to which international organizations are parties

The present syllabus for a possible topic flows from earlier work of the Commission. It will be recalled that in 2011, the Commission adopted on second reading articles on the responsibility of international organizations,1 of which the General Assembly has taken note. Already in 2002, the Commission’s Working Group on the Responsibility of International Organizations had mentioned “the widely perceived need to improve methods for settling … disputes” concerning the responsibility of international organizations. In 2010 and 2011, the Commission held a general debate on the peaceful settlement of disputes, at which various suggestions for future topics were considered.
