May your Christmas celebrations be filled with joy and good health, and may God’s blessings fall gently upon you and those you hold dear. SHARING THOUGHTS, VIEWS, & NEWS On December 10, 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration recognizes the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family to freedom, justice, and peace in the world. Following this historic act, the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration in their respective educational institutions, regardless of political status of the countries or territories in which such institutions were located. The goal was to hold this declaration as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. During the IX Congress of the World Congress of Ukrainians held in Kyiv this past August, UNWLA delegates proposed a resolution directed at the countries that originally signed this Declaration and currently host a Ukrainian population. The resolution recommended that the World Congress member organizations assess whether Declaration signatories are continuing to uphold their commitment to ensure human rights for all — including the rights of Ukrainians who may have settled in these countries. 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights as well as the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor Famine Genocide of 1932 – 1933; it is fitting that both events be com- memorated in a manner that acknowledges their relationship. Concrete progress has been made this year regarding universal recognition of the Famine Genocide in Ukraine.
