Question

Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this passage, the word states means "countries.”
At a time when there are so many issues on which we find it difficult to reach a common basis of agreement, it is a significant fact that 58 states have found such a large measure of agreement in the complex field of human rights. This must be taken as testimony of our common aspiration first voiced in the Charter of the United Nations to lift men everywhere to a higher standard of life and to a greater enjoyment of freedom.

What is the purpose of this passage?

to persuade the General Assembly that the Charter of the United Nations is unnecessary
to entertain the General Assembly with a story of how the UDHR came to be
to inform the General Assembly of what the UDHR actually includes
to persuade the General Assembly that the UDHR has wide support
