12 37. It seems unlikely, however, that it is prepared to pursue that approach. In its more recent version of its Draft Guidelines on Reservations to Treaties (2003), provisionally adopted by the ILC, it urged States and international organizations to "undertake a periodic review" of their reservations to treaties, and to "consider withdrawing those which no longer serve their purpose" 50, - though it did not pursue the aforementioned approach. Such review, - added the ILC, - "should devote special attention to the aim of preserving the integrity of multilateral treaties" 51. Thus, draft guideline 2.5.3 reflects the concerns of monitoring bodies ("particularly but not exclusively in the field to human rights"), to call often upon States to reconsider their reservations and if possible to withdraw them 52. The ILC has conceded that "The reference to the integrity of multilateral treaties is an allusion to the drawbacks of reservations, that may undermine the unity of the treaty regime" 53. 38. It may be pointed out that human rights treaties have in a way been singled out when one comes to denunciation, and termination and suspension of the operation of treaties; I see, thus, no epistemological or juridical reason why the same could not be done also in relation to reservations. In my view, the conferment of the power of determination of the compatibility or otherwise of reservations with the object and purpose of human rights treaties on the international supervisory organs themselves created by such treaties, would be much more in conformity with the special nature of these latter and with the objective character of the conventional obligations of protection 54. 39. There is a whole logic and common sense in attributing such power to those organs, guardians as they are of the integrity of human rights treaties, instead of abandoning such determination to the interested States Parties themselves, as if they were, or could be, the final arbiters of the scope of their conventional obligations 55. Such system of objective determination would foster the process of progressive institutionalisation of the international protection of human rights 56, as well as the creation of a true international public order (ordre public) based on the full respect to, and observance of, human rights. It is about time for the current process of humanization of International Law 57 to encompass likewise the domain of the law of treaties, traditionally so vulnerable to manifestations of State voluntarism. 50 .
