ECI marks Victory Day with launch of global citizen petition to eliminate Holocaust denial at the UN

Brussels, 8th May, 2012 – As people all over the world celebrate the end of World War II and victory over the tyranny of the Nazi regime, ECI launches a global petition to ban Holocaust denial at the United Nations.

The United Nations was created after the war as a beacon of hope for a new world, where the atrocities committed by the Nazis could never be repeated. However, to this very day, Holocaust denial is heard in speeches in this global organisation - from the UN Conference against Racism in Geneva to the General Assembly in New York.
-’ This is deeply tragic and offensive to those who lost their loved ones in the Holocaust and to those who barely survived the Nazi genocide and today are old and frail’, said ECI Founding Director Tomas Sandell in a statement.

ECI Seminar in Japanese Parliament marked the 92nd Anniversary of the San Remo Resolution

- Documents found in Japanese archives confirm the central role played by the Japanese Government in the creation of the Jewish State

Tokyo, 25th April, 2012 – On Wednesday a triple anniversary was marked in the Japanese Parliament in Tokyo, as the 92nd anniversary of the San Remo Resolution coincided with the 64th anniversary of Israel's Independence Day and the 60th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral relations between Israel and Japan. However this was the first time that the San Remo Resolution had been officially presented in the Japanese Parliament. This was despite the fact that the Government of Japan was one of the four countries who signed this historic resolution which paved the way for the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Just one day before the conference, the original Japanese documents from the San Remo meeting were found in the national archives in Tokyo and were presented to the Parliament at the seminar.
