The purpose of the review is to focus attention on the problems in regard to which lawyers can make their contribution to society in their respective areas of influence and to provide them with the necessary information and data.
The International Bill of Human Rights, which comprises the Universal Declaration and the two International Covenants (with the Optional Protocol to the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), is sometimes criticised for being too western-orientated. It is without doubt true that much of the drafting of the document was undertaken by western scholars and the terminology employed, particularly in relation to civil and political rights, is derived from western legal systems.
For this reason, the ICJ is glad to publish in this issue an important and learned article on Human Rights in Islamic Law by a distinguished Islamic scholar and member of the Karachi Bar, Mr Khalid M. Ishaque.
In addition, this edition features articles on:
- Human rights in the world:
-The International Crime of Apartheid
-Loss of nationality and exile
-Turkey – reply to Prof. Hirsch
-Human rights in Islamic law, by Khalid M. Ishaque
-ILO examination of the human rights situations, by C. Rossillion
-Development of international humanitarian law, by Samuel Suckow
-The judiciary in Italy: a reply
- Judicial application of the rule of law
- ICJ News

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.”
