Scope and content

The records include correspondence with regard to the revised Chinese text of the Convention, as the original text, as adopted by the General Assembly, contained linguistic defects, including a translation of the word "genocide" that was unacceptable to the Chinese government. A Corrected Chinese Text was produced and transmitted to States for approval. The records include confirmation from governments of the reception of the text, as well as comments from the governments of Cuba, India, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, Mexico, Panama, France, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, many of whom rejected the proposed changes as they were coming from the Kuomintang, representing China at the United Nations, and not the People's Republic of China.
