The Third General Assembly of the United Nations meeting in Paris in December, 1948, adopted a Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which is destruction of national, ethnic, racial, or religious groups, and this convention is now before the Senate of the United States for ratification.
This Convention is now before the Senate of the United States for ratification,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the Executive Board of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, in annual session assembled in St. Louis, Missouri, on December 1, 1949, on behalf of its United States units, urges the United States Senate to ratify the Convention on Genocide without delay, to the end that this hideous crime may never again blacken the record of humanity.
