Show detail Hide detail

Press conference held by Prof. John Humphrey and representatives of the signatories to a petition protesting against United Nations' budget constraints affecting the programs of its Commission on Human Rights and Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. Introductions to the members of the head table are made in both French & English and the opening statement given in English by Prof. Humphrey. He outlines the implications of the U.N. cuts; notes the centrality of human rights to the issue of world peace; and expresses the concern of the signatories who represent diplomats, non-governmental agencies and the Canadian public at large. Shorter statements are made by Ambassador Yvon [Bealne]; Giselle [Couture] of Laval University and Judge Jules Deschênes, a member of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. Questions from the press focus on: the timing of the petition and its objectives; Canada's representation on the Sub-Commission and the curtailment of its meeting because of the cuts; the necessity for U.N. vigilance in upholding the rights of indigenous populations in the developing countries and of all minority groups. <50mn>
