1 For a review of the Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference of this organization, see 68 AJIL 147 (1974).

2 The questionary is reproduced at 45-48 (French) and 49-51 (English).

3 Responses were received from eight countries. It should be noted that, while a number of the members of the Society are also members of the government or of the armed forces of their respective countries, the answers to the questionary prepared by them and the papers delivered by them are personal and not official.

4 Professor Suzanne (Mme. Paul) Bastid of the Université de Droit, d'Economie et des Sciences sociales de Paris II.

5 The general report is reproduced at 19-29 (French) and 31-41 (English). Apart from the questionary and this report, all of the material is reproduced in the language in which it was originally presented, occasionally with summaries in other languages.

6 Professor Bastid specifically lists seven terms and states that there are “several others besides” (at 31).

7 At 33.

8 At 34.

9 Because the Security Council has been involved in so many of the cease-fires of recent years, Professor Bastid finds that the cease-fire differs from an armistice in that it is frequently “due to the intervention of a third party” (at 35). However, this may likewise be the motivating force for the initiation of armistice negotiations.

10 These United Nations interventions have also added to the vocabulary in this area, sometimes rather nonsensically, as, for example, the use of the words “stand-fast and cease-fire” in the Renville Truce Agreement (Netherlands-Indonesia), UN Doc. S.649/Rev. 1, Sept. 22, 1950.
