The United Nations Social Committee adopted by 20 votes to six the World Declaration of Human Rights, which it has been debating for the past 10 weeks. ° The Soviet Union and Eastern European States voted against, and Canada abstained because social legislation in Canada is a matter for the provincial governments and not the Federal Government.
