Its primary purpose is to promote the progressive development of international law and its codification. The ILC works on various legal topics, producing drafts and reports that help shape international legal standards. The Commission consists of 34 members who are elected by the UN General Assembly for five-year terms. These members are recognized legal experts from different countries, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives. The ILC's work influences treaties, conventions, and the overall framework of international law.
