Many other issues are involved in this whole question of the depressive impact of our present State Department position on the question of international human rights. A brief survey of developments in this field will indicate what I have in mind. For instance. the United States has not become a party to the following conventions in the field of human rights: December 9. 1948: Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. April 6. 1950: Convention on the Declaration of Death of Missing Personsin effect December 1951. July 28. 1951: Convention Relating to the Status of Refugeesin effect December 1952. December 20. 1952: Convention on the Political Rights of Women. March 31. 1953: Convention on International Right of Correctionnot in effect.
