International legal questions

In 2009, the International Law Commission continued to examine topics relating to the progressive development and codification of international law. It adopted 32 draft guidelines on reservations to treaties and the procedure for formulating interpretive declarations, and adopted on first reading a set of 66 draft articles on the responsibility of international organizations. It established working groups on shared natural resources to consider the issue of oil and gas, and on the obligation to extradite or prosecute (aut dedere aut judicare).
