tension between group and individual rights
The first two paragraphs of the amendment to article 3
deal with the question of minorities, which committee 3
decided required further study, and has recommended,
in a separate resolution, their reference to the
Economic and Social Council and the Human Rights
Commission. As set out in the Soviet amendment, this
provision clearly states "group," and not "individual,"
rights.
The Soviet amendment to article 20 is obviously a very
restrictive statement of the right to freedom of opinion
and expression. It sets up standards which would
enable any state practically to deny all freedom of
opinion and expression without violating the article.
