		That may be part of the difference between Humphrey and Cassin - Cassin represented his country on the Human Rights Commission, Humphrey represented the UN Secretariat and his role was to facilitate the work of the Commission - not to advocate a particular point of view.
		Cassin was rewarded with the Nobel price for his entire activity, not explicitly as the author of the first draft of the Declaration.
		Cassin was a person of a doubtful morality, indifferently of his eventual earlier or later merits, because he claimed to be the author of the first draft, what was untrue and he knew it.
