PARIS, (JTA) — Assurances
that the French delegation will
raise the question of Soviet
anti-Semitism at the United Na-
tions Human Rights Commis.
sion which opened its 18th ses-
sion in New York Monday were
given by French Foreign Min-
istry officials.
The assurances were given
to Armand Kaplan, World Jew-
ish Congress director for
France, who met for an hour
with senior officials of the For-
eign Ministry. During the meet-
ing, he cited the most recent
sentences imposed on Jews in
Russia and other recent mani-
festations of anti-Jewish ac-
tions.
It was indicated that the
French delegation would call
on Russian delegates at the
meeting of the Human Rights
commission for an explanation
and thus demonstrate that the
anti-Jewish activities were not
passing unnoticed in the free
world.
. The Commission is an inter-
governmental body before which
such voluntary organizations as
the World Jewish Congress may
not appear, in contrast to the
procedures of the Human
Rights Subcommittee which met
last year.
