    WAITE, Prince Neto DCB Admission Identification: 888 018 736 Proposal for J.S.D. Thesis NYU School of Law For Fall 2011 Admission A Critical Assessment of the Concept of Due Diligence in International Law A. Summary Accountability and compliance is an ever-relevant item on the agenda of the international legal system. This item brings into sharp focus the role of development when the substantive obligations are conduct-oriented, i.e., they are based on due diligence. Due diligence relates to acting to prevent a thing or state of affairs from coming about. This thesis will examine whether due diligence can be an effective and appropriate tool to uphold the 'rule of international law’ by ensuring compliance with international obligations through the balancing of competing interests. The thesis will seek to evaluate the concept of due diligence against the legal aims and objectives of achieving justice, effectiveness as well as the practicability of this doctrinal concept in economic terms. This will be done in order to form a view as to whether we should rethink due diligence, its role and scope or completely jettison it from international legal doctrine. The operationalisation of this thesis will involve; a) an examination of the historical development of due diligence and its status, scope and content in international law; b) a comprehensive mapping of due diligence through the assessment of the work of the International Law Commission (ILC) and other drafting committees as well as international judicial treatment of the concept and; c) an inquiry into and questioning of the very rationale and prudence of the due diligence concept by evaluating, inter alia, the scope for its application to non-state actors.

The role of UNESCO in promoting universal human rights From 1948 to 2005 Roberto Andorno Introduction UNESCO was created in the aftermath of the Second World War to reaffirm the conviction of the international community that intercultural dialogue and respect for justice and human rights are essential to build a durable peace. The UNESCO Constitution, which was adopted in November 1945, states that the first objective of the organization is to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for“ justice, for the rule of law and for human rights and fundamental freedoms Consistent with this goal, UNESCO formed in 1947 a committee of intellectuals from different”.

I am honoured to have been invited here to deliver the keynote address, and I am particularly happy that my first speech before you as President of the International Court of Justice should be on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the International Law Commission. 2. As a judge of the International Court, but also first and foremost as an international lawyer, the work of the ILC has played, and continues to play, a crucial role in my daily work. Your dedication – and that of your predecessors – has allowed the international legal system to develop into what it is today. For that, on behalf of international lawyers everywhere, I thank you. Of course, in the first rank of these international lawyers are my colleagues at the ICJ, many of whom have passed through the Commission and have asked me to convey to you their congratulations on this 70th anniversary as well as their best wishes for the future. 3. The theme of today’s celebration is “Drawing a Balance for the Future”, but I want to take a few minutes to look back into the past in order to understand the role that the ILC has played over the past seven decades.
