SEPARATE OPINION OF SIR HERSCH LAUTERPACHT

While 1 am in general agreement with the Opinion of the Court,
1have concurred in it subject to reservations both with regard to
the scope of the operative part of the Opinion and the reasons
adduced in support of it. Moreover, 1 feel it my duty to elaborate
in more detail certain questions relating to the main problem
confronting the Court.

Judge WINIARSK Ihile voting in favour of the Opinion of the
Court, makes the following declaration :
1 regret that 1 am unable to accept the whole of the reasoning
on which the Court has based its reply. In particular 1think that
as the Opinion of 1950 was not based on the idea of the United
Nations as a successor in title of the League of Nations, the question
of a devolution of the powers of the Council of the League of
Nations to the General Assembly does not arise.1am in agreement
