| Research Abstract |
1. This Study concentrates on considerations of the sources of international law. Traditional sources, that is, treaty, custom and general principles of law, by their formalism do not sufficiently adapt themselves to the changing international community. There are two approaches: one is to examine legal effects of United Nations resolutions as a new source, and another is to seek possible international legislation as world-wide law-making.
2. U.N.General Assemly resolutions have only recommendatory nature according to the U.N. Charter. But, some authors try to give quasi-legislative function to the General Assembly and to rcognize legal nature of some resolutions. Recently, the Institute of International Law discussed this topic. Reports presented to the Institute deal with normative resolutionbs which contain general and abstract rules of conduct and the conclusions cover the procedures and techniques of elaboration and the legal consequences of such resolutions.
3. International legislation is almost impossible in the actual structure of international law and in absence of international legislative organ. But, multilateal treaties of general interest have been increased in spite of the principle of "pacta tertiis nec nocent nec prosunt". The effect of quasi-international legislation is expected through the review and amelioration of multilateral treaty-making process.
