conference on human rights

_
w how the 35 signatory
tions to the Helsinki Ac-
rds of 1975 have lived up
to the agreements they
made to observe human
rights within their own bor-
Aers. This will be the second
such review conference. The
first was held in Belgrade in
1977-78. .

recommendations was de-
veloped concerning policies
and programs the U.S.
should pursue in further-
ance of the Helsinki Accords
and actions it should take in
preparation for the Madrid
conference.
