"Like you, I say in a forthright voice, 'never again.' " B'nai B'rith has long called for the adoption of the Genocide, Convention. But the President has refused to call for its ratification by the Senate up to now, apparently because of opposition from some conservatives. The State Department announced, the new position, also. „ Reagan explained that the decision was made after a "long and exhaustive study" because of concern about the international covenant "in part due to the human rights abuses performed by some nations that have already ratified the document."
