PROMOTION OF RIGHTS
More Efforts By Women
Delegates to the recent conference of the International Council of Women in Washington, DC., pledged themselves to renewed efforts in the promotion of human rights in the countries they represented. The following resolution was passed: “We, the presidents of national councils of women, representing millions of organised women on all continents, deem it significant that the seventy-fifth anniversary of the International Council of Women and the fifteenth anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights fall in the same year
“We therefore think it particularly appropriate that we take this occasion to pledge renewed efforts in the promotion of human rights in our countries. To this end we shall seek vigorously to influence all branches of government. civic and other institutions to join in the fight to end discrimination in all its forms and all violations of human rights, so that the principles enunciated in the declaration may become a reality."
The resolution was adopted with one abstention.
