On the cover:
In special ceremonies at the United Nations in 1958, Eleanor Roosevelt presents first copies of a publication, In Your Hands, a guidebook of the U.S. observance of the tenth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to Ceylon’s Ambassador RSS Gunawardene (right), newly-elected chairman of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. In the center is professor Rene Cassin, Vice President of the Conseil D’Etat of France, French representative on the commission and its former chairman. Stressing that the "destiny of human rights" is in the hands of all citizens, Mrs. Roosevelt said "it is our hope that In Your Hands may inspire them to strengthen their relations with one another.
