LAKE SUCCESS— (JTA)—The Consultative Coun-
cil of Jewish 'Organizations and the World Jewish Con-
gress revealed that they are supporting the International
League for the Rights of Man in its fight on the 45-artidle
International. Covenant on Human Rights drawn up by.
the United Nations Human Rights Commission and for-
warded to the Economic and Social Council.
The League branded the covenant as it now stands
"wholly inadequate" and a "serious setback to the United
Nations" work on human rights and said it would ap-
peal to the Economic and Social Council to modify the
document or return it to the Human Rights Commission
for "repairs." Twenty of the 90 world non-governmental
organizations with UN consultative status have discussed
• the draft covenant on human rights and unanimously_
deplore it, a League spokesman said.
The draft covenant spells out 15 rights which ratite
fying nations would guarantee within their borders with-
out discrimination. Included would be freedoms of
thought, religion! information, assembly, association and.
movement and the right to fair trial. The covenant would ,
come into effect when states ratify, including non-mem-
bers of the UN invited by the General Assembly, -
Acting Secretary of State James E. Webb, speaking
in Washington, called forwarding of the draft Covenant
on Human Rights to the UN Economic and Social Coun-
cil "a significant step." -It is "vitally important that the
United Nations carry forward vigOrously its program .
for promoting and encouraging respect for human
rights," he said.
Israel Charges Arabs Hinder Peace
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Israel Foreign Ministry
announced that it has advised the United Nations Pal-
estine Conciliation Commission in Geneva that "it now
seems, from the reported reply of the Arab states to the
Commission, that the Arabs still insist on their condition
that they will not enter into direct peace talks with Israel
unless the latter first agrees to take back Arab refugees
and reestablish, them." -
The. Foreign Ministry said that "this means the
Arab governments are deliberately - making it impossible
for peace negotiations to begin. Israel, which explicitly
accepted the Commission's original offer, is still ready at
any time to enter into direct negotiations with any Arab
state or states and declares its willingness to negotiate
a final. settlement of all outstanding issues."
