10. Article 23 reads:

1. When two or more States unite and thus form a successor State, the State debt of the predecessor States shall pass to the successor State.

2. Without prejudice to the foregoing provision, the successor State may, in accordance with its internal law, attribute the whole or any part of the State debt of the predecessor States to its component parts.

Article 24 reads:

1. When a part or parts of the territory of a State separate from that State and form a State, and unless the predecessor State and the successor State otherwise agree, an equitable proportion of the State debt of the predecessor State shall pass to the successor State, taking into account all relevant circumstances.

2. The provisions of paragraph 1 apply when a part of the territory of a State separates from that State and unites with another State.

Article 25 reads:

Un tel règlement doit être fondé sur les résolutions 242 et 338 du Conseil de Securité et traduire dans la réalité le droit du peuple palestinien à une patrie.”

29. During the 33rd session of the UN General Assembly, two draft resolutions were moved with regard to the question of Western Sahara. (Cf., 10 NYIL (1979) p. 323) One of them, introduced by countries which support the efforts of the Polisario Front to acquire independence, emphasized the right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination and independence, and the responsibility of the UN for decolonization of this territory. The other draft, from states which share the Moroccan and Mauretanian view on the question, dealt almost exclusively with OAU efforts to find a solution to the problem. They later became Resolutions 33/31A and B of 13 December 1978.

80. Article 35 para. 2 reads: “An obligation arises for a third international organization from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to be the means of establishing the obligation in the sphere of its activities and the third organization expressly accepts that obligation.”

94. Article 24 reads: “The breach of an international obligation by an act of the State not extending in time occurs at the moment when that act is performed. The time of commission of the breach does not extend beyond that moment, even if the effects of the act of the State continue subsequently.”

Article 25 reads:

“1. The breach of an international obligation by an act of the State having a continuing character occurs at the moment when that act begins. Nevertheless, the time of commission of the breach extends over the entire period during which the act continues and remains not in conformity with the international obligation.

2. The breach of an international obligation by an act of the State, composed of a series of actions or omissions in respect of separate cases, occurs at the moment when that action or omission of the series is accomplished which establishes the existence of the composite act. Nevertheless, the time of commission of the breach extends over the entire period from the first of the actions or omissions constituting the composite act not in conformity with the international obligation and so long as such actions or omissions are repeated.

3. The breach of an international obligation by a complex act of the State, consisting of a succession of actions or omissions by the same or different organs of the State in respect of the same case, occurs at the moment when the last constituent element of that complex act is accomplished. Nevertheless, the time of commission of the breach extends over the entire period between the action or omission which initiated the breach and that which completed it.”

Article 26 reads: “The breach of an international obligation requiring a State to prevent a given event occurs when the event begins. Nevertheless, the time of commission of the breach extends over the entire period during which the event continues.”

95. Article 18 reads:

“1. An act of the State which is not in conformity with what is required of it by an international obligation constitutes a breach of that obligation only if the act was performed at the time when the obligation was in force for that State.

2. However, an act of the State which, at the time when it was performed, was not in conformity with what was required of it by an international obligation in force for that State, ceases to be considered an internationally wrongful act if, subsequently, such an act has become compulsory by virtue of a peremptory norm of general international law.

3. If an act of the State which is not in conformity with what is required of it by an international obligation has a continuing character, there is a breach of that obligation only in respect of the period during which the act continues while the obligation is in force for that State.

4. If an act of the State which is not in conformity with what is required of it by an international obligation is composed of a series of actions or omissions in respect of separate cases, there is a breach of that obligation if such an act may be considered to be constituted by the actions or omissions occurring within the period during which the obligation is in force for that State.

5. If an act of the State which is not in conformity with what is required of it by an international obligation is a complex act constituted by actions or omissions by the same or different organs of the State in respect of the same case, there is a breach of that obligation if the complex act not in conformity with it begins with an action or omission occurring within the period during which the obligation is in force for that State, even if that act is completed after that period.”

96. Article 27 reads: “Aid or assistance by a State to another State, if it is established that it is rendered for the commission of an internationally wrongful act, carried out by the latter, itself constitutes an internationally wrongful act, even if, taken alone, such aid or assistance would not constitute the breach of an international obligation.”

97. Article 19 para. 2 reads: “An internationally wrongful act which results from the breach by a State of an international obligation so essential for the protection of fundamental interests of the international community that its breach is recognized as a crime by that community as a whole, constitutes an international crime.”

A notification in the sense of Article 71 of the Code of Military Criminal Law would mean that, for the UNIFIL contingent, a “time of war” within the meaning of the Code of Military Criminal Law would be deemed to exist until the end of the mission, and that persons against whom force of aims was or might be used were assimilated to the enemy. On 9 March 1979, the Minister of Defence informed the Second Chamber that, after taking the advice of the Minister of Justice, he had decided not to issue such a notification, weighing all the prevailing circumstances and resultant (legal) consequences and having regard to the nature of the task to be performed in Lebanon and, on the other hand, the degree of discipline and motivation of the members of the contingent. That decision would have to be reconsidered in the case of a fundamental change of circumstances. (Bijl. Hand. II 1978/79 – 15441 No. 13; see also: Aanh. Hand. II 1978/79 p. 1989).
