Sir Hartley Shawcross, representing the International Commission of Jurists, appeared and made a statement before the committee in regard to the situation in Hungary. He explained a legal point of view on the intervention of the Soviet troops, the trials following the revolution, the status of the country as a Soviet satellite state, and the legality of the Kádár government. The most important points of reference were the Peace Treaty with Hungary (1947), the Geneva Conventions, and the Warsaw Pact.
