UN General Assembly
1978

98. Recognizing that universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is one of the primary objectives of the United Nations, and aware that those rights and freedoms are the subject of universal interest and concern, my Government offers its full co-operation in order that their observance and enjoyment may become a living reality. 99. If we are to make use of the enormous contribution of the United Nations, which proclaims the rules regarding human rights in terms of aspirations and guarantees, in terms of principles of political freedoms and economic and social justice, all Member States must apply those rules and respect the exercise of those rights by their citizens.
