Abstract
How can the development of public international law work in a decentralised and pluralist international society, where actors and institutions increasingly and deeply disagree on key questions? The paper identifies two concepts for discussing its viability: clarity, about the current law and the claim for change, and coherence of that claim with the existing law, both substantively and in relation to relevant procedures and institutions. After explaining how these concepts operate in international law more generally, the paper considers their application to the case study of compensation within the particular institutional setting of the United Nations International Law Commission.
