Une étude de la CIJ parue dans le périodique Objectif: Justice vol. 5 no.4, octobre-décembre 1973
La présente étude a été élaborée par la CIJ pour être publiée dans Objectif : Justice. Elle constitue la mise à jour d’une étude similaire, préparée par la Commission en 1967 et, en outre, la première d’une série d ’études, à paraître dans de prochains numéros de Objectif : Justice, sur les atteintes portées à la Déclaration universelle en Namibie et dans les territoires sous domination portugaise.
De l’introduction de Niall MacDermot, Secrétaire général de la CIJ :
“Les auteurs de la présente étude se sont efforcés d ’exposer en un langage simple et clair les lois qui, en Afrique du Sud, continuent de priver la personne humaine de ses droits élémentaires, tels que proclamés voici vingt-cinq ans dans la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme. Si les lois en question visent au premier chef les Africains d’origine et les autres catégories de non-Blancs, elles sont également dures à l ’égard de ces Blancs, faiblement minoritaires, qui tentent de défendre l’égalité et la liberté humaines.
Le mépris dans lequel sont tenus en A frique du Sud les principes les plus élémentaires de la primauté du droit, cela
en dépit de la condamnation universellement exprimée tant à l’ONU qu’en d’autres milieux, ne rend que plus évidente la nécessité d ’un mécanisme international efficace pour la protection des droits de l’homme.”

Jun 1, 1972
In this issue, the ICJ set up a Commission of three prominent international lawyers to enquire into the reported violations of human rights and the rule of law in East Pakistan since March 1971 and to report with recommendations.
Due to the outbreak of war between India and Pakistan in December 1971, it became necessary to cancel the enquiry. However, as a great deal of valuable documentary evidence had been already collected, it was decided that the Secretariat of the ICJ should prepare a staff study on the events up to the end of 1971, covering the ground of the proposed enquiry.
The scope of the study was extended to consider the application of the principle of self-determination of peoples, the role of the UN and the role of India. The factual account and findings of the study are based partly on contemporary newspaper accounts, partly sworn depositions of refugees in India, and partly on oral and written statements of evidence given to the Secretariat of the ICJ between October 1971 and March 1972.
In addition, this edition features articles on:
- Human rights in the world:
-Interrogation procedures, by Lord Gardiner
- East Pakistan staff study:
-
-Legal position under domestic law
-
-
-Right to self-determination
-

-
-California Supreme Court: death penalty
