Scope and content

The Commission on the Status of Women adopted at its fourth session in 1950 a resolution calling attention to the plight of women survivors of concentration camps who were subjected to medical experiments. At the subsequent session of the Economic and Social Council, the report from the Commission was examined, the view being expressed that the United Nations should lend its support to negotiations between the Allied High Commission and the Federal German Government for compensation legislation in Germany for these victims and to this end the Council adopted resolution 305 (XI) on 14 July 1950.

Under the terms of ECOSOC resolution 305 the Secretary-General was requested to consider, with the competent authorities and institutions, the means for alleviating the plight of survivors of concentration camps who, under the Nazi regime, were the victims of the so-called "scientific experiments".

This series is continued under the sub-series SOA 417/3 Compensation for Injuries.
