The League of Nations and the United Nations - Comparative Analysis of the Legal Regulation

Summary/Abstract: In the paper under study is the legal regulation of the League of Nations and the United Nations (UN) in order to make a comparative analysis of the both organisations. The author uses several criteria for making the comparison such as issues with regard to the establishment of each of the organisations, their constitutive acts, the original members and subsequent membership, the institutional framework, the headquarters and official languages of the League and the UN, the decision-making process and the dispute resolution mechanisms.The study finds that the field of activity and the responsibilities of the United Nations are considerably more extensive than those of the League and that despite the shortcomings with regard to the activities of the League one can hardly avoid viewing the League as a precursor to the UN system. There is clear continuity between the two organisations and both the League and the UN thus should be seen as sharing the same idea of establishing a world order based on peace, security and law, and of promoting the peaceful multilateral co-operation between the members of the international community.
