| Abstract: |
In 1967 Bertrand Russell, along with Jean Paul Sartre and Vladimir Dedijer, convened
the First International War Crimes Tribunal, held in two public sessions, in Sweden
and Denmark. The purpose of the Tribunal, which had no legal standing but which involved
the participation of many noted cultural figures and human rights activists, was to
expose and publicize war crimes committed during the Vietnam War. After Russell's
death in 1970 a second Tribunal, concerned with repression in Latin America, was held
in Rome and Brussels in 1974-75. The collection includes records of both tribunals:
handouts and reports from various breakout sessions, materials relating to the organization
of the tribunals, press releases and clippings.
