A Historical Study of Certain Provisions of the Yaounde II Convention as a basis for Interpretation of the ACP-EEC Convention of Lomé

  • Chapter
The Dynamics of Euro-African Co-operation

  • 30 Accesses

Abstract

The scope of this Chapter may be determined by reference to the Association, the Institutions and other related organs. The objective and functions of these entities have been outlined in Chapter II of this study. Consequently, the legal considerations examined hereafter are partly based on the spirit and letter of relevant provisions of the Convention of Association.1 Where necessary, experience gained from the operations of similar International Agreements will be heavily drawn upon. In view of the fact that the new States of the Third World are “the resultant of the interacting behaviour of systems,”2 a great deal of attention would be given to the development of a new system of law within the context of general principles of law recognised by the new States and the international community as a whole.
