Abstract

The negotiation of multilateral treaties stems from the initiative of states in traditional international law and the adoption of a draft text is carried out by an ad hoc conference of negotiators representing the interests of their states. The initiative of convening such a conference remains the onus of a state which undertakes the preparation of a draft agreement or convention, which to a very great extent reflects its interests and policies. The practice in modern international law is identified with the growth of multilateral economic and social treaties in recent years. Thus in international economic law, the initiative of convening a conference is with an international organisation (that is, the Secretary General of UNO) even when there is a specific institution created for the product for which stabilisation is envisaged. This was the case of the preparatory conference on tin convened at the initiative of the Secretary General of UNO in 1953 which later produced the 1st International Agreement on Tin in 1956. When there is an existing institution, the initiative is still that of the Secretary General of UNO or UN Conference on Trade and Development since its creation in 1964, under the invitation of the Institution.1
