Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights

Likewise, my government has made it clear in the
course of the development of the Declaration that it does
not consider that the economic and social and cultural
rights stated in the Declaration imply an obligation on
governments to assure the enjoyment of these rights by
direct governmental action. ...
In giving our approval to the Declaration today it is of
primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the
basic character of the document. It is not a treaty; it is
not an international agreement. It is not and does not
purport to be a statement of law or of legal obligation. It is
a Declaration of basic principles of human rights and
freedoms, to be stamped with the approval of the
General Assembly by formal vote of its members, and to
serve as a common standard of achievement for all peoples of all nations. Which statement best summarizes Roosevelt's rebuttal to the counterclaim that the UDHR would force direct governmental action on many nations?
O The UDHR guarantees certain economic, social, and
cultural rights for all people.
O The UDHR is a statement of values to strive for, not a
binding legal agreement.
O Approving the UDHR is the key to achieving one
world government as soon as possible.
O Approving the UDHR means that participants must
approve direct governmental action.
