Resolution adopted by the 49th IFLA Council and General Conference in Munich, Germany, 1983
Resolution on behalf of
librarians who are victims
of violation of human rights
This resolution was submitted by the French National IFLA Commission on behalf of all French Association Members of IFLA, which also separately submitted the same motion (but in French only) with a covering letter. The English text was approved by the Council.
In the name of human rights, librarians must, as a profession, express their solidarity with those of their colleagues who are persecuted for their opinions, wherever they may be. The Council mandates the President of IFLA, when informed of specific cases, after due considerations to intervene when appropriate with competent authorities on behalf of these colleagues.
