Abstract
The United Nations Commission on Human Rights at its six weeks’ session at Lake Success, which ended on June 20, 1949, revised the draft International Covenant on Human Rights and considered briefly questions of principle relating to the establishment of international machinery for the implementation of the Covenant. The draft covenant and proposals for its implementation have been transmitted to the fifty-nine Member Governments of the United Nations for their comments, the Commission having fixed January 1, 1950, as the final date on which all proposals concerning these drafts should be received by the Secretariat. The Commission will reconvene on March 27, 1950, to revise the draft covenant and the proposed texts on implementation in the light of comments received from governments. The draft covenant and the implementation machinery completed by the Commission at its 1950 session is expected to be forwarded to the Economic and Social Council and then to the General Assembly for its consideration in the fall of 1950.
