Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In conclusion, I

feel that I cannot do better than to repeat the call to action by Secretary Marshall in his opening statement to this Assembly: Let this third regular session of the General Assembly approve by an overwhelming majority the Declaration of Human Rights as a standard of conduct for all; and let us, as Members of the United Nations, conscious of our own short–comings and imperfections, join our effort in good faith to live up to this high standard. What is the purpose of this passage? to persuade the General Assembly to pass the UDHR during the current session to inform the General Assembly that the UDHR has shortcomings and imperfections to persuade the General Assembly to continue to practice its goals and responsibilities to inform the General Assembly that Secretary Marshall must make the final decision

Answer:

to persuade the General Assembly to pass the UDHR during the current session

Explanation:

In the passage, Eleanor Roosevelt urges the General Assembly to pass the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in that very same session: "<em>Let this third regular session of the General Assembly approve by an overwhelming majority the Declaration of Human Rights</em>." In that matter, she reinforces what Secretary Marshall has said, and encourages the Assembly to work under "high standards" in spite of its flaws.
