Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United Nations and in the life of mankind. This Universal Declaration of Human Rights may well become the international Magna Carta of all men everywhere. We hope its proclamation by the General Assembly will be an event comparable to the proclamation of the Declaration of the Rights of 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. What message does Roosevelt want to convey to her audience in this passage? The amendments proposed by the Soviet Union should be passed. The UDHR will take the place of former declarations. The approval of the UDHR will be an important historical event. The adoption of comparable declarations should be the priority.
