The current report of the Commission indicates in a most explicit manner that the problem of adequate protection of all human rights is still a serious one, Indeed, the report reflects the concern expressed in paragraph 8 of the Commemorative Declaration adopted at the 25th Session of the General Assembly. The relevant sentence reads: "Although some progress has been achieved, serious violations of human rights are still being committed against individuals and groups in several regions of the world. We pledge ourselves to a continued and determined struggle against all violations of the rights and fundamental freedoms of human beings, by eliminating the basic cause of such violations, by promoting universal respect for the dignity of all people without regard to race, color, sex, language or religion, and in particular through greater use of the facilities provided by the United Nations in accordance with the Charter". The Charter itself, in Articles 1 (3), 55 (c) and 56, speaks of international cooperation for ensuring greater exercise of human rights. In 1968, which was declared as the International Year for Human Rights, the United Nations published a booklet entitled "Human Rights, A Compilation of International Instruments of the United Nations". In the last page of this booklet is given a list of 34 instruments dealing with Human Rights. Apart from this list during the last three years various other documents, declarations, and resolutions have also been adopted. For instance, I should mention the Declaration of Social Progress and Development adopted in 1969, the Declaration of the 25th session to which I have already referred the Declaration of principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations-all there were adopted about only six months ago. Furthermore, the Proclamation of Teheran on Human Rights is also relevant. So also is the Geneva Convention of 1949 relative to the protection of civilian persons in times of war. In addition, the General Assembly adopted last year four resolutions, 2674, 2675, 2676 and 2677, all of them dealing with the question of human rights in armed conflicts. India has been a member of the human rights Commission all throughout the Commission's existence and has expressed concern to the Commission and to the other appropriate forums of the United Nations about all large-scale and organized violations of human rights. All the instruments I have cited make provisions for discussing the
