33. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED ON THE REPORTS OF THE THIRD COMMITTEE*
171. United Nations Yearbook on Human Rights

The General Assembly, Recalling Economic and Social Council resolution 9 (II) of 21 June 1946, in accordance with which the United Nations Yearbook on Human Rights was established, Conscious that many developments have taken place since the Yearbook was initially established, as a result of which the objectives, contents and format of the Yearbook may now be in need of modification, Mindful that the Human Rights Committee has expressed the wish to have some of its documents recorded in a yearbook,

1. Requests the Commission on Human Rights at its thirty-fifth session to review the objectives, contents and format of the United Nations Yearbook on Human Rights with a view to framing appropriate recommendations as to the need for modifications, such as the inclusion therein of appropriate documents of the Human Rights Committee and the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and of other important documents on human rights in order to enhance its wider dissemination of information relating to human rights;

2. Requests the Secretary-General to submit to the Commission on Human Rights at its thirty-fifth session suggestions for new contents and format for the Yearbook.
