UN General Assembly
1976

184. Pointing to the example of the European Com-mission and Court of Human Rights, I have proposed in this Assembly each year since 1973 that an effective world-wide human rights jurisdiction should be created, so that no country should be free from inquiry, from inspection or from condemnatory action by the international community in respect of such breaches of the rights of man. Accordingly, I commend for further study the suggestions made to this Assembly by my friend and colleague Foreign Minister Genscher of the Federal Republic of Germany, who in his speech here [7th meeting] proposed the creation of an international court for human rights.
