The activities of the International Commission of Jurists in the four years 1977-1980 have continued to be directed on the one hand to the positive promotion of human rights and their legal protection, and on the other to studying and publicising violations of human rights and the Rule of Law.
This report seeks to sumarise the main ICJ activities during these four years under a number of different headings. More detailed information on these and other topics will be found in the appendices.
It may be said that during this period the ICJ has taken a more structural approach to human rights problems, as will be apparent in particular from the regional seminars, the content of some of the special reports, and its activities pursuant to its consultative status (Appendix A).
