Rapporteur Mr. Bernd NIEHAUS

Otherwise it might be used to circumvent statements containing unilateral obligations by qualifying them as resulting from unilateral conduct and not unilateral acts.

Reservations to treaties.

Your empathy is a little onesided.

(b) State practice on the topic Unilateral acts of States

Regarding the reactions of the addressees of unilateral acts, it transpired that their acceptance of their part in undertakings unilaterally entered into resulted in a treaty type relationship.

It does not bless unilateral action.

On the other hand, the fact that form per se did not appear to be decisive in the identification of a unilateral act differentiated unilateral acts from international treaties.

Thus separate guidelines are not needed in this respect.

a unilateral declaration, even if registered, cannot be anything more than a unilateral act, and we must draw the conclusion from these findings that just as the Declaration was issued unilaterally, it can be amended or annulled in the same manner .

In this connection, he submitted three individual cases.

In particular, it would be interested to hear about practice in the revocation or modification of unilateral acts, and about any special circumstances and conditions, effects and third party reactions relating to the revocation or modification of a unilateral act (unilateral declaration).

The Working Group also briefly considered questions relating to the variety of unilateral acts and their effects, the importance of circumstances in assessing their nature and effects, their relationship to other obligations of their authors under international law and the conditions of their revision and revocability.

As suggested in the Sixth Committee, the Commission might consider adopting a definition of unilateral acts, perhaps accompanied by a without prejudice clause concerning the unilateral conduct of States, which, while important and capable of producing legal effects similar to unilateral acts, is different in nature.

The Working Group acknowledged that, while it could be stated in principle that the unilateral conduct of States was likely to produce legal effects, whatever form they might take, it was nevertheless possible to draw a distinction between unilateral conduct and unilateral acts stricto sensu.

Strongly condemns and rejects all types of unilateral coercive measures including unilateral economic sanctions and consider them as null and void.

In that regard, his delegation wished to offer two practical examples of unilateral acts.
