Scope and content

The records consist of memoranda with regard to the work of the Third Committee on the covenant on economic, social and cultural rights. In particular, the correspondence deals with the drafting of Article 15, where the draft English version refers to "the general principles of law recognized by the community of nations". The French version speaks of "les principes généraux de droit reconnus par l'ensemble des nations", a text originally proposed by René Cassin in 1952. Division Deputy-Director Mr. Schwelb, serving as Secretary of the Third Committee, believed there was a difference in substance between the two phrases and as a consequence favored using the text from the Statute of the International Court of Justice which refers to "the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations" .
