3 A personal note may be permitted here, since it poignantly reveals how little interest and expertise the Committee had even then in the international human rights treaties. With no Committee member having much knowledge of international human rights law and no member of the Committee's staff assigned the iuty of monitoring human rights developments, it faced some very practical problems when it came to itructuring the hearings and identifying relevant witnesses. The problem was met by dispatching a junior itaffer to Charlottesville, Virginia, where the speaker and the Executive Director of the International luman Rights Law Group, over lunch, assisted him in selecting both topics and witnesses!
