Accepting the document would have slowed Soviet industrial development.
The Allies secretly encouraged the Soviets to oppose it.
They wanted to spite their Western allies.

The USSR and other countries of the Soviet bloc had abstained from affirming the 1948 U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, citing its "overly juridical" character as well as the infringements on national sovereignty that it might enable.
