Abstract
At various times we referred to the possibility of agreements within the United Nations. We are referring to agreements other than the conventions sponsored by the Assembly as part of its effort at the codification and progressive development of international law. Agreements which are the subject of this section are those which may find expression in the resolutions of the United Nations.
