Comision Internacional de Juristas: su objetivos, su organizacion sus actividades, 1965

Merced al esfuerzo de sus miembros, de sus secciones nacionales y del personal de su Secretaría internacional, la Comisión Internacional de Juristas es la expresión tangible, en el plano mundial, de la fe del letrado en la justicia y en la libertad humana bajo el imperio del derecho.

Para la Comisión, es alentador observar que los principios básicos del imperio del derecho han merecido aceptación general, por lo menos en

teoría; aunque todavía no sea así en la práctica de todos los países. El objetivo supremo es ahora lograr su aplicación mundial; para ello la Comisión necesita la ayuda de todos los juristas del mundo conscientes de sus responsabilidades.
