INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DEMOCRATIC LAWYERS (IADL)
(Organized in 1946)
A. Headquarters Address:
60 Avenue Legrand, Brussels, Belgium (set up in 1951)
234 Rue du Trone, Brussels, Belgium
(Both addresses appear in publications as the "Secretariat",
but the Rue du Trone appears to be the relatively new editorial
office)
B. Regional Offices:
1. Office-apartment of Secretary General *Joe Nordmann
19 Quai de Bourbon, Paris, France (This office ostensibly
closed when IADL headquarters was expelled from Paris
in 1951)
2. Office of Martin Popper, 160 Broadway, New York City
(1946)
3. Office of Prof. Marian Muszkat, University of Warsaw
Skrz.poczt (POB) 240, Warsaw, Poland
The latter two offices were liquidated in 1951 and the entire
agenda moved to Brussels. IADL voted to move to London
in 1950, it was still under discussion in 1952, but plan was
abandoned for unspecified reasons.
C. Claimed Strength:
70,000 members in 57 countries (in 1955). In 1956-IADL
listed affiliates in 68 countries and correspondence with
80 countries. The exact number of the membership or of the
IADL Council has never been revealed. The Council
determines the number of Irotes asbigned to collective
members participating in congresses, but the congress
fixes the number of Council members with "regard to the

C. Claimed Strength: Cont'd
development of the association and of the respective
sections and international associations". The highest
number of national sections represented at Council
meetings was 32 (at Brussels in 1956). Con gress
attendance is given in figures including "observers" and
"guests"; there is a tendency for individual lawyers to
attend (especially many prominent jurists have been drawn
to "name" congresses such as "Congress for the Defense
of Civil Liberties")-so it is impossible to determine the
exact number of individual or collective members of the
IADL.
D. Official Publications:
(all printed by CEPI, 82 Rue Bodeghem, Brussels, Belgium
since 1949.)
Law in the Service of Peace - (sent to 39 countries, 35
universities,19 of which are in the USA, 16 w estern 1 ibraries)
IADL Commentaries - sometimes called IADL Bulletins.
In addition, IADL publishes many pamphlets, papers,
studies, and treaties on specific subjects of current
interest such as:
Analysis of European Defense Community.
French Opposition to Attempts to Discriminate in Civil Service.
Study on the Rights of Defense.
The Rehabilitation of the Hitlerite War Criminals and the Project
of the European Army.
Repression in North Africa.
Facts and Documents Concerning the War in Korea.
Lawyers Take a Stand Against Experiments With and Use of
Atomic Weapons.
Clemency Appeal of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.
International Law and Preparation of Atomic Warfare.

There is no firm evidence
of a national IADL section
in Japan, however this is the
group the IADL supports
there and which cooperates
closely with the IADL.
Japan is always represented,
sometimes impressively, at
IADL meetings, and conditions
in Japan are favorable for the
development of this front
organization. Some of the
lawyers active in interest of
IADL include:

THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF STUDENTS (IUS)
NOTE
The attached report on the International Union of Students (IUS)
appears i* two sections.
Section I, pages 1 through 42, is primarily based on information
available prior to the Fourth IUS World Student Congress which
was held in Prague, August 26 - September 3, 1956, and, with a
few exceptions, lists the organizations affiliated with and "parallel"
to the IUS prior to this Congress.
However, as a result of the new membership provisions adopted
by the Fourth IUS Congress in the form of constitutional amend-
ments, the current status of the great majority of the oiganizations
listed in this section has now changed, at least "nominally". The
comparatively small, Communist-front student groups that represent
only a fraction of the students in their respective countries in the
free world have, apparently, "formally" and voluntarily disaffiliated
from the IUS (or, possibly, ,have been disqualified from IUS member-
ship, with their consent) "in the interest of world student unity"
and in order to remove any obstacle that might prevent the larger,
more influential and nationally representative student unions in
their respective countries from affiliating with the IUS, on however
limited a basis. It should be noted that the Australian and Austrian
IUS affiliates candidly told the Fourth Congress that they had dis-
affiliated from the IUS for precisely the aforementioned reasons.
(See pages 7 and 9 of Section I.)
In view of the fact that such disaffiliations were not the result of
dissatisfaction with the partisan political policies of the IUS ? as
has been true in the case of previous disaffiliations ? but rather in
order to enable the IITS to realize the greatest possible success from
its latest tactical endeavor to implement the IUS unity policy, in
compliance with the current CPSU united-front policy, it is felt that
the disaffiliations of such organizations are more "nominal" than
real and that they will continue to give their fullest possible support
to IUS policies and activities in their respective countries.

These organizations were described as IUS "affiliates" prior to the
Fourth World Student Congress of the IUS (Prague, 26 August -3September
1956). Subject to the limitations expressed in "Note" on cover page of
this report, only the organizations listed in Section II, pages 43 through 51
are apparently currently regarded as "fulror "associate" IUS member
organizations with voting rights. As a result, those organizations not
listed in Section II as IUS affiliates, but so described in Section I, should
now apparently be regarded, at least nominally and formally, as IUS
"parallel" organizations until their formal status is more clearly defined.
(They may, for example, be affiliated in "consultative" status with the
IUS. See page 53 for description of the provisions of this new type of
non-voting IUS membership)
It should be noted that, prior to the Fourth IUS Congress, the IUS pro-
vided for two types of affiliation: "full" and "associate". "Associate"
members could formally limit their affiliation in special bi-lateral agree-
ments to certain types of specified 'political" activities (i.e. sports,
faculty events, travel, cultural exchanges, etc.) and disavow themselves
from all other IUS activity, particularly of a partisan political character.
"Full" member organizations, on the other hand, had no limitations on
their affiliation and accepted and supported all IUS policies and activities.
The criteria for "full" and "associate" membership were changed at the
Fourth Congress. See pages 52 to 54 for description of the revised
provisions for such membership.
** Parallel organizations are those whichgenerally support the objectives and
activities of the IUS but which are not definitely known to be formally

4. AUSTRALIA
/Note: The three Australian organizations listed below, as well
as the Austrian Union of Democratic Students, were all "full"
members of the IUS until sometime in 1955, at which time they
announced their disaffiliation. The August 25, 1956 Czechoslovak
News Agency, CTK, reports that the IUS Executive Committee
described "these actions, as... being guided by the interest
of strengthening student unity in these countries... (and as)
a positive contribution toward the removal of the obstacles
which hitherto had prevented the development of better
cooperation between the IUS and the national unions of these
countries. "
While these organizations are "technically" no longer
formally affiliated with the IUS, their disaffiliation may be more
nominal than real in view of the fact that they withdrew only to
help the IUS achieve its aims and not because of dissatisfaction
with the partisan political policies of the IUS, as did others.
Furthermore, since the National Union of Australian University
Students has refused to reenter into even a very limited type
of affiliation with the IUS, the Australian organizations listed
below will probably continue to support the IUS and its activities
in any way possible./

CPSU policy afterthe Tito-Cominform rift. Now, again conforming
to the current CPSU-Yugoslav CP rapprochement, the IUS Council
announced in August 1955 that the "decision of the IUS Executive
Committee (in 1950) was incorrect" and that "this must be openly
admitted in order to arrive at a principled solution to the dif-
ferences between the IUS and the Yugoslav organization." The
Council then added, "We believe that the Executive and the Sec-
retariat should do everything in their power to see that this mis-
take and its consequences are put right and the way opened to
negotiations and cooperation between Yugoslav students and the
IUS." However, as of August 1956, the Student Section of the
People's Youth of Yugoslavia has declined to reaffiliate with the
IUS. /

Subject to the limitations expressed in the "Note" on the cover page of
this IUS report, only the organizations listed in this Section are apparently
currently regarded as IUS affiliates, on the basis of having been given
"delegate" status at the Fourth TITS Congress and having been included in
an official list of IUS member organizations published at the Fourth IUS
Congress (August 26 - September 3, 1956).
Information now available does not identify whether the organizations
listed in this Section are "full" or "associate" members of the IUS. A
description of the revised provisions of these categories of membership
may be found on pages 52 and 53.

Fourth IUS Crnigress (August 26 - September 3, 1956). Whether or
not this omission was intended or inadvertent is not known. It
should be noted, however, as indicated on pages 7 and 8 of Section I,
that the V.O.S. (a) apparently disaffiliated from the IUS sometime
in 1955, in the hope of contributing toward the establishment of some
sort of cooperative relations between the National Union of Austrian
Students and the IUS. and (b) decided in August 1956 to rechange its
status and "establish cooperation with the IUS" since the National
Union of Austrian Students had refused to have any contacts with the
IUS. As a result, the current status of the V.O.S. is not clear.

13. Resume of the Constitutional Amendment Adopted by the Fourth IUS
Congress regardinv IUS Membership Provisions:
1. "Full" Membership:
As amended by the Fourth IUS Congress (August 26-September 3,
1956), only the following organizations can now qualify for "full"
membership in the IUS:
a. All "national uiions of students", which the IUS Constitution
defines as organizations:
"(1) whose governing bodies are democratically elected by
the members of the organizations;
"(2) which are open to all the students of the country concerned
without regard to their'sex, economic circumstance, social status,
political convicti-on, religion, color or race; /and!
"(3) /which/represent the majority of student-; of their couptry
organized on the basis of the two preceding principles."
b. Other organizations, such as:
"(1) national coordinating committees uniting the various
student organizations of the country concerned where no national
union exists;
"(2) one or more student organizations of a country where
neither a national union nor a coordinating committee, as defined
above, exist; /and/
"(3) representative student organizations abroad which unite
the largest number of students of the' country or countries concerned."
2. "Associate" Membership:
a. "Associated members shall be admitted, such members to be
national unions of students who, within the limitations of their own con-
stitutions, accept limited obligations and in return receive certain rights
of associated membership. These obligations and rights shall be determined
by agreement between the IUS Executive Committee and the organization
concerned and must be ratified by the IUS Congress."

3. "Consultative" Status
a. According to the amended IUS constitutional provisions,
"(1) Organizations which do not qualify for full or associated
membership but which desire to have working relations with the
IUS may apply for and accept consultative status with the IUS.
"(2) They shall be:
"(a) Student organizations of a specialised character:
cultural, sport, relief, faculty, press and travel. They shall
be entitled to give advice and participate in the work of relevant
departments and specialised agencies of the IUS; to take part in
activities related to their specialities and participate without
voting tights in the IUS Congress on matters relevant to their
organizations.
"(b) Organizations of students studying abroad which are
not eligible for membership and whose application for consulta-
tive status is not opposed by the MS member organizations in
the respective countries.
"Such organizations may take part in the IUS Congress with-
out voting rights; seek the assistance of the IUS for special
help in cases of need and participate in activities of the IUS."
4. Important New "Miscellaneous" Constitutional Provisions:
(a) As amended by the Fourth IUS Congress (August 1956), the IUS
Constitution now provides that:
(1) the IUS "Congress shall meet at least once in two years"
(instead of "at least once in three years");
(2) the IUS Council be abolished;
(3) The Congress elect the Executive Committee -- consisting
of "the President, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurer and
Ordinary Members" -- biennially, instead of annually by the Council.
(4) the Congress exercise greater control over the Executive
Committee by expressly limiting its functions, for the first time,
to "the carrying out of the policies, decisions and projects adopted
by the IUS Congress;"

G. National Affiliates of the WCD, or Parallel Organizations:
Unlike the other International Communist Fronts, the WCD is a
comparatively new organization. It was formally established in
1954, but has never identified, any given organization as an
"affiliate". However, the organizations listed below were either
formed for the purpose of helping to organize the WCD, as in the
case of the "National Committees" listed and not other wise
identified by name or represented at the international prepara-
tory meetings leading to the establishment of the WCD, or at
WCD-sponsored meetings themselves.

101. INTERNATIONAL "AUTONOMOUS" AFFILIATES
(The WFDY also permits international organizations to affiliate without
losing their "autonomy".)

Claimed strength:
September 1956: 3,293,360 in 36 "full" and 4 "associate" member
organizations, according to a Czechoslovak News
Agency, CTK, report of September 3, 1956. Con-
firmation of this claim is being sought. See IUS
Section for more data.)
1953: "about 6, 000,000 student members in 72 countries"
/Rote: Since its foundation in 1946 the IUS has been an "autonomous"
?affiliate of the WFDY./
b. International Young Friendships
Address: France
Claimed strength: "groups hundreds of young people from many
countries"
Note: Joined the IUS as "an associate" international affiliate in late
1955.
102. UNDESIGNATED AFFILIATIONS AND DISAFFILIATIONS
In view of the fact that the WFDY has not published a complete list of
its affiliates for many years, particularly since the mass withdrawals
of non-Communist organizations occurred in 1947, 1948 and 1949, and
in view of the fact that the WFDY frequently failed to identify by name
the organizations that did affiliate or disaffiliate, the above list
may contain some inadvertent omissions or inaccuracies., Confirmation

102. UNDESIGNATED AFFILIATIONS AND DISAFFILIATIONS (Continued)
of the current accuracy of the information listed above is, therefore,
being sought.
The above list, for example, does not contain the names of the "thirteen
youth organizations" that the WFD" reports were admitted as members in
August 1956 by the Council at its meeting in Sofia but which the WvnY
failed to identify by name.
103. UNDESIGNATED PARALLEL ORGANIZATIONS
In addition to the organizations listed above, the WFDY and the HIS can
usually count on a host of small but active organizations that are usually
set up locally, regionally and nationally by leaders of local WFDY-IUS
affiliates to "prepare" for some important upcoming event. For example,
efforts are now being made to set up a network of "preparatory committees
for the Sixth World Festival of Youth and Students" that is to be held
in Moscow in August 1957. Pa vticular effort is being made to attract the
support and participation of non-Communist organizations and unaffiliated
young people in general. These "committees" may have been newly created
or may be the same ones that were set up to "prepare" for the Fifth World
Youth Festival that was held in Warsaw in August 1955.
While these "preparatory committees" are ostensibly set up on an ad hoc,
temporary basis, great effort is made to convert them into permanent
affiliates or "parallel" organizations. Such efforts have met with some
success in many coubtries, particularly in the underdeveloped areas
where "Rural Youth Committees" and "Committees in Defense of the Rights
of Youth" that were set up in 1954 to prepare for international conferences
still continue to exist.

76. YUGOSLAVIA
/Note: The WIDF Council expelled its Yugoslav affiliate ?. the
Organization of Yugoslav Women ? in November 1949, in line
with the CPSU nolicy after the Tito-Cominform rift. Now, again
conforming to the current CPSU.Yugoslav CP rapprochement,
the WIDF Council, at its meeting in Peking.h April 1956"... ?at
the request of severa101 its members," examined its previous
decision and "...recognized that this decision was unjust." It
"unanimously decided to revoke it." As of August 1956, the
Organization of Yugoslav Women had not accepted the WIDF invi-
tation to reaffiliate. /
77. UNDESIGNATED AFFILIATIONS
The WIDF Council, elected by the World Congress of Women in
June 1953, included reserved "slots" for undesignated members
from Peru, Thailand and Trieste and designated
the following members from Portugal: Maria SILVESTRE, Julia
COSTA, Este- DURSO and Helena SA. It is, therefore, assumed
that the WIDF has an unidentified affiliate and/or parallel organi-
zation in each of these countries.

WIDF Council *
(June 1953 )
According to the provisions of the WIDF Constitution, each national
affiliate of the WIDF designates its candidates for Council Membership
or Deputy Membership on the basis of the total national population
figures: one member and one deputy per affiliate from each country
whose population does not exceed 5 million; two members and two
deputies per affiliate from each country whose population does not
exceed 30 million; three members and three deputies per affiliate
from each country whose population does not exceed 75 million; four
members and four deputies per affiliate from each country whose
population does not exceed 140 million; and five members and three
deputies per affiliate from each country whose population exceeds 140
million.
The Council is elected by the WIDF Congress from a slate of candi-
dates submitted by each national affiliate.
The Control Commission members are named by the Congress from
the Council members who are not members of the Executive Commiti
tee.
The above-listed officers of the Control Commission and Council will
continue to serve in their designated capacities until the next WIDF
Congress meets and reelects new members. The last WIDF Congress
was held in Copenhagen, June 1953.

membership figures but claims to "represent" well over 600, 000, NO
people (Of whom about ninety percent are in the Soviet bloc). This
number is based on signatures collected in "signature campaigns",
*
The Asian Solidarity Committee was created at the Conference of Asian
Countries in New Delhi, India, in April 1955 (initiated by the WPC) and
claims now to be an independent organization. However, in effect, it is
a branch of the WPC and is expected to take over many of the WPC acti-
vities in the oriental regions. Local Solidarity Committees have been
formed in China, Japan, India, and the USSR and "preparatory committees"
in most of the other oriental countries with the announced intention Of eSta-
blishing permanent committees in all of these countries.

COMMUNIST SOCIETIES OF FRIENDSHIP AND CULTURAL RELATIONS
This paper lists in section A, the Soviet, Chinese, East European
satellite, North Korean and North Vietnamese organizations which support
and guide Communist friendship and cultural relations groups throughout
the world. These friendship/cultural groups are widely exploited by the
sponsoring Soviet, Chinese, etc., organizations as propaganda outlets
in the free world. Within the Communist bloc countries, the Soviet Union
appears to be the only nation which maintains societies of friendship in
the other Communist countries. The satellite countries do not, as of
this date, have programs whereby they sponsor societies of friendship
within each other's territories. Some mention has been made of the
possibility of founding a society of friendship with China in the Soviet
Union, but there is no evidence as yet that it has been established.
In section B are listed all those societies of friendship or cultural
relations promoted by the Sov.-iet, Chinese, East European satellite,
North Korean and North Vietnamese sponsoring organizations listed
in section A. The identity of the sponsoring Communist country is
shown in the title of each friendship/cultural relations society or is
otherwise indicated.
It might be noted here that membership in such organizations does
not always indicate Communist Party membership or even sympathy
with Communism. In some cases in non-Orbit countries, the societies
reportedly have listed as their honorary officers, high-ranking govern-
ment officials or other prominent citizens without having requested
permission to do so. In other non-Orbit areas, prominent government
officials have permitted their names to be listed as honorary officers
of the friendship societies. In many cases this was not done for reasons
of Communist sympathy, but for reasons of protocol because of the
quasi-official nature of the friendship society.
There are also incidents where individuals who are students of
Russian literature, history, art, etc., who likewise have no interest
in the political purposes of the friendship/cultural relations societies,
join one of these groups in order to be able to use its library which
is sometimes better supplied with Russian publications than any other
local institution.

A. COORDINATING BODIES:
Listed below are the Soviet, Chinese, East European satellite,
North Korean and North Vietnamese organizations which sponsor,
support, guide and exploit as propaganda centers the Communist-
dominated friendship and cultural relations societies found through-
out the free world.
1. All-Union Society for Cultural Relations Abroad (Soviet)
(Vsesoyuznoye obshchestvo kulturnoy svyazi zagranitsey,
VOKS)
Office Locations:
Editorial Office:
Official Publications:
Moscow, and Leningrad, USSR
Ulitsa Kalinina, 16, Moscow,
K-9, USSR
The VOKS Bulletin, a bi-monthly,
published in several languages.
Moscow News, a bi-weekly,
published in French and English.
Numerous news letters and a
great number of books on all
aspects of Soviet life.
Executive Officers:
Chairman of the Board:
First Deputy Chairman:
Audrey I. DENISOV
V. J. YAKOVLEV
Subsidiary Organizations:
Within the Soviet Union, each federal republic has
its own organization for cultural relations (OKS),
each forming a part of the larger VOKS. Each
OKS apparently follows a program which reflects
local interests and specific foreign affinities. The
Ukrainian OKS, for instance, is especially in-
terested in Canada where there is a large
Ukrainian emigre group. Wherever i.t has been
available, information about the several OKS
organizations has been listed under the Soviet
Union country division of section B.
Abroad, both the local Communist Party as
well as the local VOKS representative appear to
provide direction and assistance to the society
of friendship with the Soviet Union, even though
an atternp_tis usually made for the friendship

Communist Party. Since, however, the societies
of friendship with the Soviet Union receive much
(probably most) of their material support from
VOKS and since they serve as VOKS' primary
propaganda outlets abroad, they are listed as
closely related organizations.
2. The A sociation for Cultural Relations with Foreign
Countr es (ACRFC). Headquarters address: Peiping, China
This o ganization, formed in May 1954, appears to be the
Chinese counterpart of the Soviet VOKS.

The AlRFC is probably subordinate to the United Front
Departi ent and to the Propaganda Department of the
Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
Throush the ACRFC the Chinese Communist Party
mainta'ns an active relationship with societies of
friend hip with China which are located in several
countr es of the free world. The ACRFC should not be
confus d with the Liaison Bureau for Cultural Relations
with F?reign Countries, a Chinese government organ
under he State Council, which deals directly, on a
govern ent to government basis, with counterpart
organs of the Soviet bloc countries in handling ex-
changes of cultural delegations between those countries
and Co munist China.
3. Albani n Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign
Countr es
This possibly the Albanian counterpart of the Soviet
VOKS. If so, it presumably supports societies of
friend hip with Albania which are located in non=-Orbit
countr es.

(In the case of Czechoslovakia, it appears that responsi-

divided between the Ministry of Culture and the Czech
Foreign Institute, with the latter concentrating parti-
cularly on Czechs residing in foreign countries.)
5. The Society of Cultural Relations Abroad
(Gesellschaft fuer Kulturelle Verbindungen mit dem

(This appears to be the East German counterpart of the
Soviet VOKS.)
Executive Officers:
Director: Dr. WIESE (first name unknown)
6. Institute for Cultural Relations (Hungarian)
(Kulturkapcsolatok Intezet)
Probably the Hungarian equivalent of the Soviet VOKS.
Administratively this organization is under the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs. Its four principal functions are to:
1. popularize Hungarian culture in foreign lands
Z. popularize foreign culture in Hungary
3. assist in the implementation of cultural agreements
4. foster scientific and artistic relations
