§ 59. Sir J. Rodgersasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding adherence to the Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
§ Mrs. WhiteThe Declaration does not have the status of a treaty or convention and it is consequently not legally possible for a state to adhere or become a party to it. But it does have great moral authority which Her Majesty's Government are determined to do all in their power to support.
