Letter from the Permanent Representative of the Argentine Republic to the Eurogean,.Office of the United Nations, dated 6 May 1964

.... I have pleasure in communicating with you with reference to the which the International Law Commission of the United Nations will hold during its sixteenth session,, due to begin on 11 May next here at Geneva, for the purpose of filling the existing vacancies in the Commission « In this connexion, I wish to inform you that the Argentine Government decided, at the appropriate time^ to propose Ambassador Dr« José Maria Ruda? Legal Adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Argentine Republic, as a candidate for the vacant Latin American seat on the Commission* As will be seen from the enclosed _curriculum vitae, Ambassador Ruda possesses qualifications which make him fully suited for the office for which he has been proposed by my Government, by reason of his tenure of the Chair of International Law at the University, his work as Argentine representative to the United Nations General Assembly and his position a£ Legal Adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Moreover, I venture to point out that, since the establishment of the International Law Commission in 1947, no Argentine national has ever been nominated for membership of the Commission* I would request you to bring this communication to the attention of the distinguished members of the International Law Commission. /CN«4/lñ8/Add,l Annex pags 2

Note verbale from the Permanent Mission of Iran, dated 28 April 1964

The Permanent Mission of Iran to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretariat of the United Nations and has the honour to inform that the Imperial Government has decided to nominate His Excellency Professor A. Matine- Daftary, Senator and former member of the International Law Commission, to fill the casual vacancy which has occurred in the International Law Commission due to the election cf some members of the Commission to the International Court of Justice. Although there may be considerations on the part of some of the members of the Commission to allot this vacancy to regions other than Asia and Africa in spite of the fact that these two Continents until now are under-represented in the United Nations organs, the Government of Iran feels that the candidature of Professor Matine-^aftary should he considered by the Commission even though it is only for the remainder of the Commission's current Five-Years Term. This would not be an unprecedented decision. Professor Matine-Daftary, in the last election of the General Assembly lost the membership of the Commission by one vote only owing to the fact that on the eve of the elections, new -Asian Candidates were allowed to be nominated; as a result of the sudden change in the situation votes for Asian Candidates were forced to be divided. Professor Matine-Daftary served during five years regularly and uninterruptedly as a member of the International Law Commission to represent the Islamic Law and Middle Eastern civilization on legal system. It is hrped that the members of the Commission will take into account these considerations for filling the casual vacancy at the forthcoming session or If such a vacancy should occur in the future.
