CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS — A CALL FOR INCLUSIVENESS, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS
Featured Article
The CMHR represents a unique opportunity for Canada to be recognized as a leader in reflecting and further advancing contemporary research on genocide and human rights and in telling the story of all genocides without any attempt to represent the suffering of one nation, tribe or community as having been of more relevance or importance than any other’s. All attempts to do so argue fundamentally do an injustice to the memory of the many millions of victims of genocide throughout the ages, whether they suffered in Europe, or somewhere else.
How did Canada get its name? Most Canadians, if asked about the origins of the name “Canada”, will admittedly lament their ignorance of that part of Canadian history. Of those that do remember, they might even recall the “official” version of how Canada got its name, the one they received from the TV commercial “A Part Of Our Heritage – Canada.” After all, ...

Ottawa, Canada - April 26, 2012- The Ukrainian Canadian Congress welcomes the unanimous adoption of a historic motion honouring Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky by the Parliament of Canada on Tuesday April 24, 2012.
"This very important tribute by the Parliament of Canada to the deeds of Metropolitan Sheptytsky in saving the lives of many Jews in the Nazi Holocaust during World War II is a testament to the world of his righteousness," stated UCC National President Paul Grod. "The acts of Metropolitan Sheptytsky shine as a beacon for all of us to do the right thing in the face of difficult circumstances. We applaud this recognition and are grateful for the statement made by Ted Opitz, a Polish Canadian Member of Parliament, and to Minister Jason Kenney for proposing the motion as well as to all Members of Parliament for their principled and non-partisan unanimous approval. "
Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Nina Karpachova said: On my behalf, yesterday, on 24 April, Representative of the Human Rights Commissioner S. Kudruk visited Kachanivska penal colony without prior notice and met with Yulia Tymoshenko. He checked the circumstances of her statement regarding being beaten by guards when transferred from the colony to a hospital on 20 April, 2012.
This morning Ukrainian Pravda in Kyiv carried the front page story of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko being beaten in her prison cell and forcibly removed against her will by prison staff to a second Kharkiv clinic, allegedly for treatment. This, despite the fact that the German medical team that saw her on Friday and who also saw the hospital/clinic facilities concluded that she cannot be properly treated in Ukraine, and should be moved to a specialized hospital in Germany for surgery and proper treatment.
As a result, she has started a hunger strike and issued a statement carried by Pravda Ukrainy, an English copy of which is attached.
The Spanish government is due to unveil what is expected to be one of the toughest budgets in its recent history.
Newly-elected Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has already warned the budget will be "very austere".
The global financial markets are increasingly concerned that Spain's debts are becoming unmanageable.
On Thursday, Spanish police clashed with protesters after a general strike was held to protest against labour reforms designed to cut unemployment.
Road, rail and air transport were all affected, with domestic and European flights cut to a fraction of their normal levels.
Bailout fears
Spain, which is suffering from the highest levels of unemployment in Europe, is under intense pressure from eurozone leaders to reduce its deficit.
Correspondents say there is concern that if the situation does not improve, Spain might eventually need a bailout.

In 1932-33 there was a famine in the USSR. Twenty years later Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-American-Jewish lawyer, one of the draftsman of the Convention, offered the following remarks on the twentieth anniversary of that famine in a paper which he entitled “Soviet Genocide in the Ukraine”:
We the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in Canada (member of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress) strongly request that you bring the following to the attention of the Ukrainian Ambassador in Canada and its Government. Canada is a champion of human rights globally and can improve the life of Ukrainians.
It is extremely alarming that considering the political situation under President Victor Yanukovych in Ukraine there is continuous political persecution, harassment and repression of his critics and opponents.
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) has renewed its call for an independent review of the Canadian Human Rights Museum (CMHR) and a suspension of incremental funding by the federal government amid media reports that the museum is behind schedule and over budget.
The chairman of the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Roman Zakaluzny, attended the official unveiling of the Spirit Lake Internment Camp Interpretive Centre on 24 November, 2011, extending congratulations to the centre's organizers, designers and managers for creating what has already become an important commemorative and educational venue recalling Canada's first national internment operations.
Representatives of the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association (UCCLA) and officials from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) spoke during UCCLA's annual conclave, held this year in Saskatoon.
The Ukrainian language would have prevailed in Ukraine. The split of this country takes its beginning from this time. On December 28, 1933, 117 000 people were resettled from Russia and Belarus to Ukraine - in the Dnipropetrovs’k, Odesa, Kharkiv and Donetsk provinces. 329 train loads in all. Another 221 000 were brought in 1935. When the 1937 census was conducted, all of these people, of course, were counted as Ukrainians. However, they – were carriers of totally different cultures, beliefs and customs. In turn, Ukrainian intellectuals, patriots were destroyed.
The award that is being bestowed on me is hallowed by the name of a moral luminary—the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic priest, Omelian Kovch.
The Nazi monsters killed my brothers and sisters only because they had been born Jews. In saving my brothers and sisters, Rev. Omelian Kovch accepted torments and gave up his own life. He must be mentioned in Jewish prayers. Yehi zichro baruch. May his memory be blessed!
I bow my head before those righteous individuals, those Ukrainians who, in risking their own lives, rescued my brothers and sisters—they rescued Jews.
The drafters of this “open letter” mislead its readers by twisting facts, omitting indispensable information, and introducing irrelevant issues. In order to properly understand the controversy discussed in this accusation against the UCC and UCCLA, the following points should be clarified: a) the mandate of the CHMR, b) the implementation of the mandate, and c) the positions taken by the UCC and the UCCLA.
Nevertheless, we must distinguish between some of the signatories, who may not be sufficiently familiar with the true historical facts, and the author or authors who penned this vitriolic piece. The authors accuse the UCC of “a manipulative attempt to exploit human suffering,” which “is reprehensible and should not be acceptable to the Canadian public.”
Frankly, they should look themselves in the mirror.
A case on point is the Ukrainian ethnic minority which is the largest in the Russian Federation. There isn’t a single Ukrainian language school in the Russian Federation. By comparison, the Russian ethnic minority is the largest in Ukraine. There are some three thousand schools in Ukraine where the Russian language is either offered or serves as the main language of instruction.
Evidently, something is amiss in the Russian Federation. The aforesaid incongruity does not serve the Russian state nor the Ukrainian ethnic minority therein as the latter feels slighted and thus sees itself outside the mainstream of the Russian state. This lack of attention to ethnic minorities is palpable in other spheres in the Russian Federation, religion, etc.
An FBI report kept secret for 25 years said the Soviet Union "quite likely fabricated" evidence central to the prosecution of John Demjanjuk – a revelation that could help the defense as closing arguments resume Wednesday in the retired Ohio auto worker's Nazi war crimes trial in Germany.
I understand that you have chosen today’s date in solidarity with protesters in Russia who rally on the 31st day of each month to remind their compatriots of Article 31 of the Russian Constitution which guarantees to all its citizens the Right of Assembly.
I am proud to join everyone at this historic rally of Canadians who for the first time have decided to no longer remain silent but to stand up in defence of Human Rights and Civil Liberties in Russia because the people of Russia are no less deserving to live in dignity and enjoy their constitutional liberties than we here in Canada!
They are no less deserving than us to have their human rights protected by their government!
The Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association (UCCLA) was established in 1984 and continues to advocate for the interests of the Ukrainian Canadian community. For example, UCCLA took the lead in the successful campaign to secure redress for Canada’s first national internment operations, organized an international campaign aimed at having Walter Duranty’s Pulitzer Prize revoked, honoured Ukrainian Canadian heroes like the Victoria Cross recipient, Cpl. Filip Konowal, and has unveiled plaques and monuments across Canada and in England, Wales, France and Ukraine recognizing our Canadian veterans and those who told the truth about the genocidal Great Famine of 1932-1933, the Holodomor.
Dominique Arel's UKL 452, which was sent out on Monday last, contains an Open Letter to The UCCLA, the UCC and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The letter has about 750 words, which is the usual length for articles that are intended for the newspapers. The letter is signed by 78 people, professors, independent scholars, etc. I don't know if the letter has appeared anywhere in print or online but it most likely will for it is an "open letter" written to influence the Canadian and world public. The letter concerns the Ukrainian community and I think that it should be made known and discussed. Below, I offer my commentary.
The proposed contents and governance of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights has become the subject of significant public discourse in Canada over the past several months. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) established in 1940 continues to democratically represent the interests of the organized Ukrainian Canadian community. We have made our views on the Canadian Museum for Human Rights known, and have done so openly, consistently and with all the civility due to those who hold differing opinions.
