Abstract
Although legal arguments advanced at international conferences have been cited or consulted for the purposes of ascertaining the rules and principles of international law, the proceedings of international organisations have not sufficiently been taken into account in determining and developing international legal norms. Apart from the fact that states have felt it necessary in recent years to act or voice their opinions individually and collectively on questions of international law at meetings of international organisations which in effect reveal the consensus of states, there are international organizations equipped with legal experts or advisers whose day-to-day opinions constitute a body of legal experience which could profitably be utilised for the purposes of strengthening and extending the contents of international law.
