Takes note of the comments of the International Law Commission on the question of the duration of its ses­ sion, as presented in paragraph 743 of its report, and ex­ presses the view that the requirements of the work for the progressive development of international law and its codification and the magnitude and complexity of the sub­ jects on the agenda of the Commission make it desirable that the usual duration of its sessions be maintained;

Once again expresses the wish that seminars will continue to be held in conjunction with the sessions of the International Law Commission and that an increasing number of participants from developing countries will be given the opportunity to attend those seminars, appeals to States that can do so to make the voluntary contributions that are urgently needed for the holding of the seminars and expresses the hope that every effort will continue to be made by the Secretary-General, within existing resources, to provide the seminars with adequate services, including interpretation, as required;

Requests the Secretary-General to forward to the International Law Commission, for its attention, the rec­ ords of the debate on the report of the Commission at the forty-fourth session of the General Assembly, together with such written statements as delegations may circulate in conjunction with their oral statements, and to prepare and distribute a topical summary of the debate.
