suggested exploring new and contentious rights, and those who would want to
reject any statement that did not. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

perhaps he is right. But with many of us feeling that this rights theme must
be explored, I have had to try to come up with something acceptable to both
parties.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

could be done was to substantially change the emphasis of the statement. I
have attempted to do this, and in the process may well have upset some. My
intention here is quite clear – to get a statement acceptable to this list.
To me it’s important that we advance the theme and have this emphasis at
