a form of naf;~.a~.a_r_e=st.itutio rachor than compensation - this in the CBSO of “restitution” of an object of the 8~me kind as the “lost” originai. - 192 -340. As regards the question of how much tho article on pecunia.ry compensation ehould be influenced by progressive development of jnternationol law, two general views yere expre68ed, One view supported the idea of devaIioping the law through the exerciee of progressive development, particularly in view of the fact that much of the 1 v in that area was influenced by municipal law and should therefore bo thoroughly examined and that Statos had an intoroot in modifying and daveloping the law furthor. Howovor, noting the aommont by tha Special Rapporteur to tae effect that the actual payment of pecuniary compensation depended oa.the assessment of facts of a particular case, it wae unclear to theeo members what mottors were appropriate for development, The other view, however, urged caution in doveloping rulau on the payment of compensation beyond what was already done in the W&m JJ&/ cane. The problem the eupporters of this view saw was that, in such development, tho Commieaion would more likely look into municipal law of torts, a concept basically developed in the Western induetrial States end not properly devolopod in all daveloping States. Such a development might therefore run counter to the intoreste of developing countries which formed the majority of State6. This view watt not aleo in favour of detailad rules on pocuniery compensation and in particular on the siae of such compensation, They preferred a flexible approach, 349. The Speci,.l Rapporteur reiterated his belief in the need to teke into full consideration the pooition of developing States aleo in codifying the law of State ;osponsibility, as in any other relevant area of international law. He had already uxplainod in what sense he believad that a difference did exist
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing international law and the development of rules and principles related to compensation and restitution in cases of state responsibility. The language used is formal and technical, suggesting a focus on legal and diplomatic issues. The mention of "pecuniary compensation" and "municipal law" further supports this analysis.
