§ 67. Mr. Danceasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement regarding the steps being taken by Her Majesty's Government to protest to the Hungarian Government about the violations of human rights in that country.
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreThe Soviet and Hungarian Governments have consistently rebuffed the attempts of the United Nations, through its Special Committee on Hungary and through the Assembly's Special Representative Prince Wan of Thailand, to assist in the amelioration of the Hungarian tragedy. I therefore think that it would be useless for Her Majesty's Government or any other individual Government to protest to the Hungarian or Soviet Governments about the violation of human rights in Hungary, and that the best policy is to bring unremitting pressure to bear on those two Governments through the United Nations and through world public opinion to induce them to modify their policy of repression.
