Scope and Content Note

The series lists information about "closed" (decided) appeals of human rights cases. Information includes appeal number; case title; outcome (order or decision affirmed, dismissed or annulled); initials of the presiding, concurring, or dissenting members; and the date the case was closed.

Arrangement is inconsistent among the volumes. Volume 1 lists cases numerically by appeal number (1165A-3436). These numbers are continued in the second half of Volume 2 (3437-3950), but the "closing sheets" in the first half of the volume (1976-1978) are roughly chronological by closing date. Volume 3 contains "closed cases" from 1979-1984, also roughly chronological by closing date.
