Recommendations

Recommendations ( lat. Recommendatio - advice) - in international law means resolutions of international organizations, meetings or conferences that are not legally binding. The recommendations are not sources of international law, but they actively contribute to the formation of new norms and principles of international law. In exceptional cases, recommendations can be recognized as legally binding (for example, recommendations of the UN General Assembly to the ECOSOC, in accordance with Article 66 of the UN Charter, have the character of mandatory indications) ^[1] . In order for the recommendation to be recognized as binding on the state, the will of such a state is necessary. Resolutions of the UN General Assembly and international organizations of the UN system are often adopted as recommendations. Important in their content are the recommendations of the UN Security Council regarding the settlement of disputes between states by peaceful means ^[2] . Recommendations may also be adopted by regional international organizations.
