For all these differences of opinion, we are unanimous in the belief that, if the Principles of Equality are to be effective in our age, they have to go well beyond the negative anti-discrimination model that was adopted in the US and Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. They must, instead, encourage nations positively to promote the principle of equal rights in keeping with current interpretations of international obligation.
尽管存在这些不同意见，我们都一致相信，如果“平等原则”要在我们这个时代奏效，这些原则必须远远超越美国和欧洲在二十世纪下半叶所采取的消极的反歧视模式。相反地，它们必须积极鼓励各国推广平等权原则，并遵守目前对国际义务的阐述。
