Abstract EN:
The crises periodically experienced by international institutions as well as the successes regularly obtained by the policies of power of certain countries are only obstacles on the way of a progressive "multilateralization" of international relations, which has in fact already started long ago both in quantity and quality. The author tries to justify this opinion through the thirty odd publications he presents in support of his thesis, in comparing whenever possible bilateral and multilateral practice. His personal knowledge of these two forms of diplomacy enables him to complete his juridical analyses by practical argument and factual observations. The institutions examined by him belong mostly to the united national family, but he also deals with some outside organizations, like the o. A. U. , the arab league, or interpol. The problems he envisages include specific ones (likes weighting of votes, coordination, peace-keeping, decision-making process, international civil service) as well as global ones (the future of international organizations, the adaptation of multilateralism to the challenges of the present world, the policies of the institutions faced with the current crises, common principles of international organizations, etc. . . ).
Abstract FR:
Les crises que traversent periodiquement les organisations internationales et les succes que remporte regulierement la politique de puissance de certains etats, ne sont que des obstacles sur la voie d'une multilateralisation progressive des relations entre les pays, amorcee depuis longtemps sur le plan tant quantitatif que qualitatif. L'auteur s'efforce de justifier ce point de vue a travers la trentaine d'ecrits presentes a l'appui de sa these, en comparant chaque fois que possible pratiques bilaterales et pratiques multilaterales. Sa connaissance personnelle des deux formes de diplomatie lui permet de completer ses analyses juridiques par des arguments et des observations pratiques. Les institutions qu'il examine appartiennent le plus souvent au systeme des nations unies, mais se situent egalement en dehors de celui-ci: organisation de l'unite africaine, ligue des etats arabes, interpol, etc. Les problemes qu'il aborde sont aussi bien specifiques (la ponderation des votes, la coordination, le maintien de la paix, le processus de decision, les hautes fonctions internationales, etc. . . ) que generaux (l'avenir des organisations internationales, l'adaptation du multilateralisme aux defis de notre temps, les politiques des organisations face a la crise, les princi@es communs des organisations internationales, etc. . . ).
