ABSTRACT: The object of this study is to examine the High Commissioner proposal in its context as a part of the international movement for human rights.Subjects discussed are: the background and history of a proposal; the details of the High Commissioner's activities that seem to be encompassed in the loose language employed in the ECOSOC draft ; administrative matters ; the "legality" of the Office ; and the General Assembly's power to establish a Commissioner by resolution and the role of the High Commissioner as essentially a law promoter rather than a protector is discussed.
