Interesting article. I knew a bit about the split between the covenants of civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights, but for example I didn’t know the right to self-determination was introduced thanks to the Soviet Union.
A funny thing about the article is that it is not especially favourable to the Soviet Union–it reproduces the usual uncritical clichés–but even that makes liberals really annoyed.
