The International Commission of Jurists is a non-government organisation which has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The Australian section was established in 1958 with Sir Owen Dixon as its first president, and an appeal was made to all lawyers to become members.

The series is arranged chronologically and contains correspondence with M. Ashkanasy concerning the visit of the Secretary-General Sir Leslie Munro (1962), a paper entitled Problems of police investigation, delivered by P. Brett at the Sydney conference of I.C.J. in 1966, and correspondence with J. Minogue and E. St John, and printed material concerning the seminar on 'The rule of law in an emerging society with particular reference to Papua and New Guinea' held in Port Moresby in 1965 and attended by Barry. Papers presented on that occasion by W.A. Lalor, G. Sawer, D. Derham and C.J. Lynch are also included.
