Read the passage from eleanor roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the universal declaration of human rights.

the first two paragraphs of the amendment to article 3 deal with the question of minorities, which committee 3 decided required further study, and has recommended, in a separate resolution, their reference to the economic and social council and the human rights commission. as set out in the soviet amendment, this provision clearly states "group," and not "individual," rights.

the soviet amendment to article 20 is obviously a very restrictive statement of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. it sets up standards which would enable any state practically to deny all freedom of opinion and expression without violating the article. it introduces the terms "democratic view," "democratic systems," "democratic state," and "fascism," which we know all too well from debates in this assembly over the past two years on warmongering and related subjects are liable to the most flagrant abuse and diverse interpretations.

what argument does roosevelt make in this passage?

if the assembly fails to approve the soviet amendments, individual freedom may soon disappear.
if the assembly fails to approve the soviet amendments, the soviets might have to declare war.
the soviet amendments mention fascism, which is too controversial a topic for the udhr.
the soviet amendments endanger human freedoms by emphasizing group rights over individual rights.
