Kutner has received for his efforts to give international validity to the concept of world habeas corpus. As revolutionary as this proposal still may sound. I believe that a point has now been reached in history where men of good will and civilized governments must seek to make it a reality. I can think of no better case with which to break ground in the matter of world habeas corpus than the case of the Soviet Jews who. despite all their pleadings and all their sufferings. are being denied the right to emigrate from the Soviet Union to Israel. in violation of the specific guarantees laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Mr. President.
