Portée et contenu

The Division of Human Rights was charged with responding to communications dealing with human rights from individuals, groups and governments to the Secretary-General. In accordance with ECOSOC resolutions 75 and 116A, these communications were compiled and communicated to the Commission on Human Rights and to governments concerned.

With the creation of the ad hoc Commission on Questions of Prisoners of War the Division supported the three member Commission in its work on the repatriation of prisoners of war.

In addition to the question of prisoners of war, the plight of survivors, notably those that had been subject to scientific experiments by Nazi doctors, was a humanitarian problem which the Secretariat approached in an unorthodox way. Not only was the Division of Human Rights charged with the task of bringing to the attention of the German government individual case information on victims, but the Director and Assistant Director of the Division traveled to Germany for the purpose of direct negotiations with the German authorities regarding legislation enabling compensation for the victims.

This series of records documents the work of the Division concerning victims of war and includes records from the Diplomatic Conference in Geneva in 1949 that established the four Geneva Conventions.
