ECOSOC/5791
27 July 1998
Without freedom from poverty, human rights could not be fully experienced, the Legal Adviser of the World Bank told the Economic and Social Council this morning, as it continued consideration of follow-up to the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights.
The Economic and Social Council this afternoon adopted four resolutions and one decision, all without a vote, recommended by the five regional commissions, as it continued its review of the work of those bodies.
