Achievements
The International Law Commission's work has led to the creation of a number of treaties and other works of international law that are key to the present international legal order (see generally ), for example:
- The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties
- The Vienna Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties
- The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations
- The Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts
- The International Criminal Court, first proposed in December 1948 at the request of the UN General Assembly.

Famous quotes containing the word achievements:
“When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
