A decision to press for the appointment of a United Nations attorney-general to sift and place before the Human Rights Commission petitions from individuals or groups was adopted here today at a meeting of the governing body of the Consultative Council of Jewish Organizations, which is composed of the American Jewish Committee, Anglo-Jewish Association and Alliance Israelite Universelle.

It is understood that this decision refers to the migration of Volksdeutsche Germans to Australia and other countries.
