Adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights
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 composite views of the many men and governments who have contributed 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 true 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 record in the Third Committee.I shall not burden the Aembly, and 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 providing for limitation on the exercise of the rights for the purpose of meeting the requirements of morality, public order, and the general welfare.An example of this is the provision that
everyone has the right of equal acce to the public service in his country.The basic principle of equality and of nondiscrimination as to public employment is sound, but it cannot be accepted without limitations.My government, for example, would consider that this is unquestionably subject to limitation in the interest of public order and the general welfare.It would not consider that the exclusion from public employment of persons holding subversive political beliefs and not loyal to the basic principles and practices of the constitution and laws of the country would in any way infringe upon this right.Likewise, my Government has made it clear in the course of the development of the declaration that it does not consider that the economic and social and cultural rights stated in the declaration imply an obligation on governmental action.This was made quite clear in the Human Rights Commiion text of article 23 which served as a so-called “umbrella” article to the articles on economic and social rights.We consider that the principle has not been affected by the fact that this article no longer contains a reference to the articles which follow it.This in no way affects our whole-hearted support for the basic principles of economic, social, and cultural rights set forth in these articles.In giving our approval to the declaration today it is of primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the 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 legal obligation.It is a declaration of basic principles of human
rights and freedoms, to be stamped with the approval of the General Aembly by formal vote of its members, and to serve as a common standard of achievement for all peoples of all nations.We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United
Nations and in the life of mankind, that is the approval by the General Aembly of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights recommended by the Third Committee.This declaration may well become the international Magna Carta of all men
everywhere.We hope its proclamation by the General Aembly will be an event comparable to the proclamation of the Declaration of the Rights of the Man by the French people in 1789, the adoption of the Bill of Rights by the people of the United States, and the adoption of comparable declarations at different times in other countries.At a time when there are so many iues on which we find it difficult to reach a common basis of agreement, it is a significant fact that 58 states have found such a large measure of agreement in the complex field of human rights.This must be taken as testimony of our common aspiration first voiced in the Charter of the United Nations to lift men everywhere to a higher standard of life and to a greater enjoyment of freedom.Man’s desire for peace lies behind this declaration.The
realization that the fragrant violation of human rights by Nazi and Fascist countries sowed the seeds of the last world war has supplied the impetus for the work which brings us to the moment of achievement here today.In a recent speech in Canada, Gladstone Murray said:
“The central fact is that man is fundamentally a moral being, that thelight we have is imperfect does not matter so long as we are always
trying to improve it … we are equal in sharing the moral freedom thatdistinguishes us as men.Man’s status makes each individual an end inhimself.No man is by nature simply the servant of the state or of
another man … the ideal and fact of freedom—and not
technology—are the true distinguishing marks of our civilization.”
This declaration is based upon the spiritual fact that man must have freedom in which to develop his full stature and through common effort to raise the level of human dignity.We have much to do to fully achieve and to aure the rights set forth in this declaration.But having them put before us with the moral backing of 58 nations will be a great step forward.As we here bring to fruition our labors on this Declaration of Human Rights, we must at the same time rededicate ourselves to the unfinished task which lies before us.We can now move on with new courage and inspiration to the completion of an international covenant on human rights and of measures for the implementation of human rights.In conclusion I feel that I cannot do better than to repeat the call to action by Secretary Marshall in his opening statement to this Aembly:
“Let this third regular seion of the General Aembly approve by anoverwhelming majority the Declaration of Human Rights as a
statement of conduct for all;and let us, as Members of the UnitedNations, conscious of our own short-comings and imperfections, joinour effort in all faith to live up to this high standard.”
