Hugh Thirlway, « Reflections on "lex ferenda" », Netherlands Yearbook of International Law, vol. 32 , December 2001, p. 3-26 (en ligne) : « The term is not, however, a mere antithesis, in the sense of referring to something or everything that is not law: the force of the Latin gerund (‘delenda est Carthago’) is that the term refers to something that in some sense ought to be law, but is not. »
