These agreements concern what governments must not do to their people and what governments must do for their people. By ratifying these agreements. governments pledge as a matter of law to refrain from subjecting its own people to arbitrary imprisonment and to execution of cruel or degrading treatment. They recognize the right of every person to the freedom of movement. the freedom of thought. the freedom of opinion. they recognize the freedom of conscience. religion. expression. assembly. and the right to freely emigrate. But there exists today a government which has joined in these agreements. which has signed and ratified these agreements. and which has openly and flagrantly violated each and every human freedorr the world has joined in agreement to protect. I speak. of course. of the Soviet Union.
