Most criminal codes sought an element of intent and an element of gravity to distinguish between punishable attempt and non-punishable attempt, and left it to the courts to apply that general principle to specific cases. In view of the various comments made in the Commiaeion concerning the draft article he had submitted in his eighth report, the Special Rapporteur submitted a new version of draft article 17 u/ to the Commission. 3u The new version of draft article 17 submitted by the Special Rapporteur read: Attempt to commit a crime against the peace and security of mankind constitutes a crime against the peace and security of mankind. Attempt means any commencement of execution of a crime against the peace and security of mankind that failed or was halted only because of circumstances independent of ths perpetrator’s intention.” - 30 -2. milliaittrQ.iXb in-drug@ 77, In his eighth report, and in his presentation of draft articles X and Y on the crime of the international illicit traffic in narcotic drugs, U/ the Speoial Rapporteur said that the Commission had invited him to submit a provision OR that subjeot, U/ and he was submitting two texts.
