The Charter of the United Nations was written to include among the organizations purposes and principles: To achieve international cooperation in solving international problems of an economic. social. cultural or humanitarlam character. and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race. sex. language. or religion. The Charter of the United Nations directly led to the formulation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And from this declaration. international conventions or treaties on human rights have been promulgated. including those on genocide. slavery. refugees. political rights of women. marriage. discrimination in education. elimination of all forms of racial discrimination. and the two definitive human rights covenants adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 1966. I again urge this body to act favorably on the Genocide Convention.
