UNITED NATIONS (JTA)-
The United Nations Commission
on Human Rights voted to post-
pone until next year a decision
on a resolution embodying basic
principles for eliminating dis-
crimination in education.
The resolution was presented
by the Subcommission on Pre-
vention of Discrimination and
Protection of minorities. The
Israel representative was the
only member of the commission
to abstain.
The commission adopted by
a vote of 17, none against, and
one abstention (Israel), a reso-
lution proposed by France stat-
ing that the Commission was
in favor of drafting the basic
principles of the eradication of
discrimination in education but
only after receiving further
comments from governments.
The debate on the subject
showed that the main question
on which the commission failed
to reach agreement was on a
definition of discrimination.
Most delegations favored em-
ploying the criterion of intent
to discriminate, while others,
particularly the United States,
felt that action which resulted
in discrimination, even if it
were unintentional, should be
included.
Israel's delegate Haim Cohen
who is the Attorney General of
Israel, objected to the Ameri-
can definition of discrimination.
He noted that certain separate
facilities in education did not
in fact and should not in law
constitute discrimination.
As examples, he cited the
separate school systems in Is-
rael for Arabs and for ultra-
Orthodox sects like Neturei
Karta, who wanted their own
school systems and were al-
lowed by the Israel government
to have them. The British and
French delegates supported the
Israeli position.
Dr. Isaac Lewin, representa-
tive of the Agudas Israel World
Organization to the Human
Rights Commission, was inter-
rupted by the Soviet delegate
when he pointed out that Jor-

teachers will hold a- command-

teachers conference scheduled
to be held here during the Pass-
over recess as a result of elec-
tion of delegates.
In the final vote totals, the
Mapai slate received 38 per
cent of the total and five per
cent from Arab teachers. The
next closest bloc of votes, 20
per cent, was captured by the
United Religious Party, while
the Mapam received 13 per cent,
Achdut Avodah 12 per cent,
Progressives five per cent, He-
rut five per cent and two per
cent for the Religious Labor
group.

The 'Russian, A. A. Fomin,
was upheld by the chairman R.
S. S. Gunewardene of Ceylon
who cautioned Dr. Lewin not
to make critical references to
specific countries. The exchange
was touched of when the Agu-

to have access to great religious
shrines, and cited the Jordanian
ban as a violation of this right.
