This article analyzes the role of the OAS in creating political frameworks for the peaceful settlement of the disputes, and its role in enhancing the adjudicative frameworks for settling disputes arising between American states. The article suggests that while the OAS had succeeded in creating strong political frameworks for the peaceful resolution of regional conflicts, it was not equally successful in enhancing the normative framework needed for the legal settlement of conflicts between American States.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) applies to 70 percent of the earth’s surface, creating a legal order for the world’s oceans. It promotes peace and cooperation. It supports the peaceful settlement of disputes and the rule of law. This chapter offers a practitioner’s account of the negotiating process that led to the adoption of UNCLOS, based on the author’s experience as President of the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea. Among the distinctive features of that Conference were (1) the treaty-making conference began without a draft and used a single negotiating text, (2) the role of unofficial private negotiating groups, and (3) the avoidance of voting. These features proved vital to the success of the Conference.

The DSM, or Dispute Settlement Mechanism, in the absence of a judicial body, is the closest representation of a supreme court or judicial institution in a regional bloc or other international organisation. The search for a peaceful settlement of disputes in the international arena had led to the development of the DSM during the 20th and into the 21st century. The DSM acts as an impartial third party, wherein it intervenes in any international conflict to offer feasible solutions for both sides.O MSC, ou Mecanismo de Solução de Controvérsias, na ausência de um órgão judicial, é a representação mais próxima de uma Corte Suprema ou de instituição judiciária em um bloco regionl ou em organização internacional diversa. A busca por um meio pacífico de solução de disputas no meio internacional levou à criação do MSC ao longo dos séculos XX e XXI. O MSC age como um terceiro imparcial, na medida em que ele intervém em conflitos internacionais com o intuito de ofertar soluções possíveis para as partes envolvidas.
