Opening of Trial on Charges of Sabotage,
Pretoria, South Africa, April 20, 1964
"We hold it as
an inviolable principle that racism must be opposed by all the means that
humanity has at its disposal. Wherever it occurs it has the potential to result
in a systematic and comprehensive denial of human rights to those who are
discriminated against. This is because all racism is inherently a challenge to
human rights, because it denies the view that every human being is a person of
equal worth with any other, because it treats entire peoples as subhuman. "
