On the other hand, so far as law reforms prepare d and carried out through international cooperation are con­ cerned, it has always been acknowledged that the contribution of the various legal systems is of considerable importance. Internationa l law reform is growing rapidly in volume and im­ portance. An ever-increasing proportion of the national law of every state is the result of conventions and other international instruments OLE LANDO is Professor of Comparative Law, Copenhagen School of Economics & Business Administration.
