RESOLUTION

ON THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT FAMINE 1932-33 IN UKRAINE

In 2007-2008 the world community will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Famine of 1932-33 in Ukraine,

when more than 7,000,000 Ukrainian men, women and children lost their lives. This tragedy was not the result of a

natural disaster but the consequence of a calculated policy by the Soviet communist regime under Josef Stalin in

Moscow to break the will of the Ukrainian people. The United Nations expresses the sense that the 75th anniversary

of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33 should serve to honor the memory of the victims, recognize this tragedy as

Genocide against the Ukrainian people, condemn the Soviet communist perpetrators, acknowledge the failure of the

world community to react with appropriate opprobrium and urge contemporary and future world communities to be

vigilant against any manifestations of repression and inhumanity.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the United Nations:

1. That the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33 be recognized and acknowledged as Genocide against the Ukrainian

people;

2. That the victims of the Ukrainian Famine 1932-33 be solemnly remembered on its 75th anniversary and the

month of November be designated in (country of reference) annually as a particular time to reflect upon the

Ukrainian Famine 1932-33;

3. That the communist regime of the the Soviet Union with its center in Moscow be condemned for its systematic

disregard for human life, human rights, human liberty and self-determination that characterized the repressive

policies of Joseph Stalin and his henchmen during the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33;

4. That those from the West who were complicit in the cover up thereby facilitating the crimes of the perpetrators

should be rebuked even posthumously and their superiors and/or successors should denounce them publicly; in this

regard (the political entity) urges the publisher of The New York Times to return the Pulitzer prize awarded to its

employee Walter Duranty and the Trustees of Columbia University’s Pulitzer Committee to revoke that award,

thereby distancing themselves from complicity;

5. That on the 75th anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33, as Ukraine moves toward a fuller democracy

with pervasive respect for human rights and free spiritual and economic opportunity, it is essential that (country of

reference) continue to assist Ukraine in its endeavors aimed at the betterment of its society and people; and

6. That any supplemental material that may assist in the dissemination of information about the Ukrainian Famine of

1932-33 and thereby help prevent similar tragedies, should be compiled by historians, academicians and

parliamentarians and that these be included within the educational material utilized by educational institutions in

(country of reference) and be made available worldwide for a more complete study of this great tragedy of mankind.
