1、第 1 页 Adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights1 特征码 DkzIfvCSzeOFRnRQmcaJ Mr. President, fellow delegates: The long and meticulous study and debate of which this Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the product means that it reflects the posite views of the many men and governments who have co
2、ntributed to its formulation. Not every man nor every government can have what he wants in a document of this kind. There are of course particular provisions in the declaration before us with which we are not fully satisfied. I have no doubt this is true of other delegations, and it would still be t
3、rue if we continued our labors over many years. Taken as a whole the Delegation of the United States believes that this a good document - even a great document - and we propose to give it our full support. The position of the United States on the various parts of the declaration is a matter of recor
4、d in the Third Committee. I shall not burden the Assembly, and 第 2 页 particularly my colleagues of the Third Committee, with a restatement of that position here. Certain provisions of the declaration are stated in such broad terms as to be acceptable only because of the limitations in article 29 pro

This was made quite clear in the Human Rights Commission text of article 23 which served as a so-called “umbrella“ article to the articles on econom

This in no way affects our whole-hearted support for the basic principles of economic, social, and cultural rights set forth in the
10、se articles. In giving our approval to the declaration today it is of primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the 第 4 页 basic character of the document. It is not a treaty; it is not an international agreement. It is not and does not purport to be a statement of basic principles of law or le
