In the two decades following the 1955 Asian African Conference in Bandung, Asian and African jurists sought to reshape international law to better incorporate the aspirations of formerly colonised peoples. The Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee (AALCC), founded one year after the Bandung Conference, helped formulate a common Afro-Asian and Third World international legal agenda by bringing together jurists and ideologically diverse Asian and African governments while collaborating with UN institutions working to codify and develop international law. The AALCC’s work and the contemporaneous writings of African and Asian jurists reveal a shared ambition to weaken the international protection of foreign-owned property by pursuing a legal agenda anchored in the structure and principles of the post-World War II international legal system. The Afro-Asian international legal agenda combined efforts to eliminate pre-war rules incompatible with the foundational principles of the UN Charter while elaborating the content of these principles through UN institutions.

在1955年在万隆举行的亚洲非洲会议之后的二十年中，亚洲和非洲法学家试图重塑国际法，以更好地融合以前殖民地人民的愿望。万隆会议召开一年后成立的亚非法律咨询委员会（AALCC）通过召集法学家和意识形态多样的亚非政府，并与联合国机构合作，共同制定了亚非和第三世界共同的国际法律议程。编纂和发展国际法。亚非法协的工作以及非洲和亚洲法学家的同期著作都显示了共同的雄心，即通过追求以二战后国际法律体系的结构和原则为基础的法律议程来削弱对外国拥有财产的国际保护。亚非国际法律议程共同努力，消除了与联合国宪章的基本原则不符的战前规则，同时通过联合国机构详细阐述了这些原则的内容。
