The records contain the paper prepared by the Division of Human Rights - Activities of Various Organs of the United Nations in Connection with the Right of Asylum - as well as correspondence regarding points of revision.

The Division of Human Rights prepared a background document entitled Activities of Various Organs of the United Nations in Connection with the Right of Asylum for the Commission on Human Rights on the right of asylum, an agenda item of the seventh session of the Commission (1951). The right of asylum, which figures in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was not finally included in the draft Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as a result of, among other things, the difficulty in devising acceptable provisions with binding force.
