In its plenary meetings of 25 and 26 August 1948, all Council members made statements on the report of the third session of the Commission on Human Rights (E/800 and Add.1 and Add.2).
Members stressed the importance of the draft Declaration, but also expressed regret that it had not completed the draft Covenant and measures for implementation (E/SR.215 and E/SR.218).
Following discussions, the Council adopted, without vote, Resolution 151(VII) of 26 August 1948, transmitting the draft International Declaration of Human Rights to the General Assembly.
