“We
believe the world is in a new phase of international relations. Quite
different from the one through which we have just gone, not so much
characterized by superpower conflict as by the outbreak of ethnic
quarrels, guerrilla wars, all kinds of international disturbances, and
we are convinced that international law must be given a larger role in
the settlement of international disputes and in the solution of
international problems.”

made by Dr Henry A. Kissinger,

13 October 1992.
The

Recognizing the importance of international law is tantamount to
affirming that law is the mainstay of the community of states, and that
the development and achievements of this community can only go hand to
hand with the progress of the law which it expresses."
