These widely reported statements by former Sandinista officials have not been independently cross-checked by the author, who does not purport to have made a field investigation of human rights abuses in Nicaragua.

16 The other principal may not even have been aware of this meeting.

17 It has been urged that this series of contacts with the Nicaraguan Government was simply part of a broad series of inquiries made for the investigation. There is substantial question, however, whether the indicated degree of contact with the Nicaraguan Government is appropriate for an investigation that must, of necessity, operate in the shadow of Sandinista political interest.

Of equal concern, there is a serious question whether the appropriate contact of the Nicaraguan Government for the investigation was a principal attorney coordinating Nicaragua’s pending case before the World Court. This concern is heightened by the admitted involvement of that attorney in promoting the investigation and the subsequent appearance of one of the delegation principals on behalf of Nicaragua before the Court.
