Summary
In the Friendly Relations Declaration, the principle of peaceful settlement of international disputes is stipulated immediately after the principle relating to the prohibition of the threat or the use of force. This is evidently not a coincidence. As pointed out in the Report of the Special Committee in 1964, ‘the principle of peaceful settlement appear[s] as the logical corollary of the injunction to refrain from the threat or use of force’ and ‘[t]he history of international law and international relations show[s] that the two principles … developed side by side’.
