NEW YORK, (AP) The United Nations assembly turned aside bitter Soviet protests Saturday and in effect upheld western charges of violations of human rights behind the iron curtain in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania.
The assembly voted 47 to 5 (Slav bloc) to express its grave concern over the charges.
It also asked the international court of justice for an advisory opinion whether the Soviet satellites are obligated to carry out treaty provisions for settling the long disputes.
Finally, the assembly decided to keep the issue alive until it meets again next year.
