INFLUENCE. Exhortatory Resolutions Before delving into the influence of Assembly resolutions on treaty and customary law, it is necessary to first note that many resolutions will not set out, in the first place, to have normative effect but will rather exhort its membership to reach agreement in the future on these norms. These resolutions are, in this regard, offering the weakest of prescriptive claims, lacking both a clear normative statement and indication that the membership regard such norm to be binding.395 This exhortatory function is envisaged in the text of the UN Charter, being to make ‘recommendations’ and to provide an environment for the progressive codification of international law.396 Resolutions of an exhortatory character have, in this regard, been framed in different ways. Some resolutions may acknowledge that a gap exists in international law which Member States should consider filling by way of a multilateral convention. Or they might set out a series of norms which are to be a standard of attainment in the future, as would be apparent from the language used and explanation of vote. Finally, Members might seek to limit the normative influence of resolutions but adopt a statement that envisages a political solution to a problem, as with the Assembly’s recent Political Declaration on Trafficking in Persons.397 Yet even where there is merely an exhortatory intention of the Assembly for the future development of norms, it is apparent that resolutions of this nature may produce a number of effects. In particular, an exhortatory resolution might, through later reflections or uses, assume greater prescriptive significance, either as a statement of obligations under the UN Charter or in reflecting customary international law.398 Even ‘soft’ agreement on the definition of a norm represents an important first step on its journey to an identified law.399 The most obvious way in which this ‘soft’ agreement can be crystallised is via the later adoption of a multilateral convention that draws from the text of Assembly resolutions. Indeed, the institutional pattern between resolution and convention is such that they can be said to comprise two-stages of law- 394 Quasi-judicial resolutions are considered further in Chapter 4. 395 Xxxx (n 12) 787. 396 UN Charter arts 13(1)(a) and 105(3). 397 UNGA Res 72/1 (2017). 398 See Sections 3 and 4 below. 399 See also UNGA Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, ‘Summary Record of the First Meeting’ (21 August 1962) A...
