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

The Soviet proposal for deferring consideration of the Declaration to the 4th session of the Assembly requires no comment. An identical text was rejected in committee 3 by a vote of 6 in favor and 26 against. We are all agreed, I am sure, that the Declaration, which has been worked on with such great effort and devotion, and over such a long period of time, must be approved by this Assembly at this session.

What is Roosevelt's goal in this passage?

to express indifference on whether the UDHR is passed immediately or later

to express frustration that the General Assembly rejected the Soviet proposal

to persuade the General Assembly to pass the UDHR immediately

to persuade the General Assembly to pass the UDHR at the fourth session

    Roosevelt's goal in the passage is to persuade the general assembly to pass the UDHR at the fourth session.

    Explanation:

    This is because the soviet proposal is made in order to defer the consideration of the declaration in the 4th session of the assembly. There must be approval by the assembly in the 4th session before the declaration of the rights is too late. There was rejection of the committee because of the different facts and finally it was passed in the 4th session.
