Series V: Subject Files, 1950-2007

This series consists of topical materials that Henkin filed separately. There is some overlap with other series, particularly his course materials on Human Rights and International Law, but his original arrangement has been maintained. Records in this series include articles by Henkin and other scholars, citations searches from Westlaw, clippings, correspondence, government publications, journals, legal briefs and opinions, and symposia programs. Materials are arranged alphabetically by topic.
