Summary:
Request by the United States of America for the inclusion of the Question of Hungary on the session's agenda in view of the fact that none of the objectives of previous resolutions (including Soviet troop withdrawals; free elections; observance by the Hungarian authorities of fundamental human rights and freedoms) had been observed. Sir Leslie Munro reported that there had been a slight improvement in living standards, that limited freedom of speech and freedom of movement had been permitted, but that this was still against the background of the subjection of the Hungarian people to foreign domination, and the denial of their elementary human right to freely choose whom they wish to govern them.
