Extract

This article deals with Professor Sergei Borisovich Krylov’s (1888-1958) work as an example of the impact of Soviet theory and practice on international adjudication. Krylov’s statements and performance regarding this institution are examined in the light of his relationship with his state. By bringing out some of the factors that motivate an individual acting in a state-oriented society, further appraisals of the rôle and the effective limits of international adjudication, with Soviet participation, may be aided.

1 The term ‘ ‘ adjudication,'’ as used here, describes a procedure whereby pacific settlement of an international dispute is sought by means of a binding decision of a third party; it thus includes arbitration. Insofar as the discussion concerns the International Court of Justice and its predecessor, the Permanent Court of International Justice, both contentious and advisory proceedings are included.

35 Krylov's output was highest in the 1920's and the 1950's. Soviet bibliographies indicate that he did not publish anything in 1932, 1934 (except for the release of the text of a speech given by him in March, 1933), 1935, 1937, 1942 and 1945.

44 Krylov, Materialy k istorii Organizatsii Ob’ ‘edinennykh Natsii [Materials on the History of the United Nations Organization] 212 (Moscow, 1949). Krylov's book was reviewed by Schapiro in 28 Brit. Yr. Bk. Int. Law 429 (1951), who characterized it as largely a dry documentary account, yet openly political in its aims. The second edition of Krylov's book, bearing the title “ Istoriia sozdaniia OON” [History of the Creation of the U.N.] (Moscow, 1960), does not contain the reference to the interests of socialist states.

45 U.N. General Assembly, 2nd Sess., Official Eecords, Eesolutions 103-104 (A/519) (1948); see also p. 373 below.

46 Despite the fact that Krylov had three successors on the bench—Golunsky (1952- 1953), Kozhevnikov (1953-1960), and Koretsky (I960-)—he enjoyed the unique distinction of being the only Soviet judge in the International Court who had ever written a fully separate opinion, until Koretsky's dissent on July 20, 1962. See also pp. 384-385 below.

47 E.g.,the two works by Krylov cited in notes 42 and 44 above. Also, Krylov, “Reglament Mezhdunarodnogo suda O b “ edinennykh Natsii [The Eules of the International Court of the United Nations ] , “ Sovetskoe Gosudarstvo i Pravo, No. 10 (1946), pp. 38 and 44.

48 For identification, see Krylov, Mezhdunarodnyi sud Organizatsii Ob’ ‘edinennykh Natsii [The International Court of the United Nations Organization] 5 (Moscow, 1958). Borisov's real identity at the time was well concealed. A clever use of the pen name was to have Borisov speak out in support of Krylov. E.g., Borisov, “Iuridicheskie izmyshleniia Gansa Kel'zena [The Juridical Concoctions of Hans Kelsen] (Hans Kelsen, The Communist Theory of Law, London, 1955),” Mezhdunarodnaia Zhizn', No. 10 (1955), p. 147. It is possible that Krylov has used other pen names as well. E.g., the following book review has been identified as Krylov's product: S. Sergeev, “Memuary delegata Konferentsii v San-Frantsisko [Memoirs of a Delegate to the San Francisco Conference] (Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve, Many a Good Crusade: Memoirs, New York 1954),” Mezhdunarodnaia Zhizn', No. 1 (1956), p. 147. 47 Annuaire, Institut de Droit International 550 (1957, II ) .

142 P. 371 above. Compare Krylov's statement before the International Law Association, in which he criticized the distinction between so-called classical international law and international law of the United Nations. “We have no classical international law now, we have the law of the 81 States belonging to the United Nations.” He said he was surprised to hear the Caroline case cited in support of the self-help doctrine, in the teeth of Art. 51 of the U.N. Charter. Furthermore, the Corfu Channel Case (Merits) was a precedent against the self-help doctrine.

157 A Soviet treatise on international law, published during Krylov's term on the International Law Commission, characterized the work of the Commission in these words: “Taking into consideration the fact that American imperialists and their lickspittles have set out to employ international law for their criminal purposes, the Commission's work reflects a struggle between representatives of the camp of peace and democracy, headed by the Soviet Union, and representatives of the camp of war and lawlessness, headed by the United States of America. “The imperialist states aim to use codification of international law by the U.N. for their reactionary purposes and to propagate their schemes under the guise of codifying rules of international law.” Lisovsky, op. oit. note 41 above, at 33.
