Abstract
ABSTRACT Dr. Liang Yuen-Li (1903–1979) was a diplomat and lawyer from China, who was one of the founders of the UN International Law Commission (ILC) in 1947, serving as its first Secretary from 1949 to 1964. Having participated in the Hague Codification Conference of 1930, he had great authority in the ILC, and by his leadership led to the success in producing a number of important codification conventions in 1950s and 60s. After he had left the ILC, however, its productivity substantially declined. It is hoped today that his legacy be revived in the efforts for progressive development and codification of international law and the ultimate revitalization of the ILC.
