Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Likewise, my government has made it clear in the course of the development of the Declaration that it does not consider that the economic and social and cultural rights stated in the Declaration imply an obligation on governments to assure the enjoyment of these rights by direct governmental action. This was made quite clear in the Human Rights Commission text of article 23 which served as a so–called "umbrella" article to the articles on economic and social rights. We consider that the principle has not been affected by the fact that this article no longer contains a reference to the articles which follow it. This in no way affects our whole–hearted support for the basic principles of economic, social, and cultural rights set forth in these articles. In giving our approval to the Declaration today it is of primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the basic character of the document. It is not a treaty; it is not an international agreement. It is not and does not purport to be a statement of law or of legal obligation. It is a Declaration of basic principles of human rights and freedoms, to be stamped with the approval of the General Assembly by formal vote of its members, and to serve as a common standard of achievement for all peoples of all nations.
Which particular group in the General Assembly audience is Roosevelt most likely targeting in this passage?
those who think that the UDHR would be a coercive document
those who support making the UDHR a legal obligation
those who still do not support human rights for everyone
those who are in agreement with Roosevelt and her government
