Report of a mission by Professor Cees Flinterman for the ICJ and Netherlands Institute of Human Rights.
As a result o f a series of seminars, the International Commission of Jurists has become increasingly concerned with the relationship between human rights and development, an d has participated actively in the promotion of the concept of the right to development as a human right.
It was from this perspective that the International Commission was extremely interested in sending a representative to Ghana who would be able to in form it not only a bout the administration and safeguards to ensure fair trials and defence rights, but also more generally about the situation concerning human rights in the light of the right to development.
The report contains an introduction to Ghana and the mission, chapters on the administration of justice and human rights, and final remarks and recommendations.
The report was published by the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM) as SIM Special No. 4.

Report of WUS/ICJ mission of enquiry into higher education in the West Bank and Gaza
“The International Commission o f Jurists and the UK Committee o f the World University Service arranged in 1983 an independent mission to the West Bank and Gaza to enquire into the persistent problems faced by the Palestinian institutions of higher education in their relations with the Israeli military authorities in the occupied territories. As sponsoring organisations our concern, as expressed in the term s of reference, was to examine ‘the extent to which the academic freedom of these institutions is affected by the military occupation and, in particular, by the
military orders introduced by the occupation authorities’. The concept o f academic freedom of institutions of higher education is nowhere authoritatively defined. The authors o f this report have rendered a signal service in bringing together the various norms of international law relevant to the subject, and have been guided by them in examining the question of academic freedom in the Israeli occupied territories.”
The report contains:
- Terms of Reference
- Basic Facts and Figures
- An Approach to the Problems
