COMPTES RENDUS 607 Arabia abstained because of the way Article 16 on equal marriage rights had been drafted and because it opposed the right to change one’s religion or belief contained in Article 18. South Africa abstained because it realized the Declaration was incompatible with the apartheid system. But the Communist states of Eastern Europe (USSR, Ukrainia, Byelo- russia, Poland and Yugoslavia) abstained essentially because they considered that the Declaration should have more explicitly condemned fascism. In their view fascists should have specifically been denied the right of freedom of expression, the right to freedom of association and the right to use democratic institutions (p. 23–24). In sum, Morsink has performed a real service. In the form of a lively chronicle of the drafting of the Declaration, he has produced a work of enduring value. The scholarly community and the human rights movement should be grateful and correct their institu- tional memories accordingly. Maastricht Menno T.
