Aug 1, 1976 | Advocacy, Non-legal submissions
In response to the request contained in Resolution 7 (XXVII) of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities the ICJ circulated to members of the Commission at their meeting in 1975 a Memorandum relating to “The human rights of persons in detention or imprisonment”.
By Resolution 4 (XXVIII) the Sub-Commission requested the Secretary-General of the United Nations to invite (inter alia) non-governmental organisations to furnish information, in particular about the matters referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Resolution.
The ICJ respectfully draws the attention of the Sub-Commission to the information already contained in its 1975 Memorandum.
In addition, it circulates herewith a further Memorandum consisting mainly of statements made by victims of torture and other ill-treatment in various parts of the world, relating to the matters referred to in the above Resolution.
