United Nations General Assembly Resolution 43
43. Draft Declaration on Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms
The General Assembly,
- Whereas the Economic and Social Council has established a Commission on Human Rights and has resolved that the work of the Commission shall be directed towards submitting proposals, recommendations and reports to the Council concerning an international bill of rights,
- Resolves therefore to refer the draft Declaration on Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms to the Economic and Social Council for reference to the Commission on Human Rights for consideration by the Commission in its preparation of an international bill of rights; and
- Expresses the hope that the question will be referred back to it in order that it may be included in the agenda of the second regular session of the General Assembly.
Fifty-fifth plenary meeting, 11 December 1946.
