TO THE ROMA ORGANIZATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS, INDIVIDUALS
Dear brothers and sisters, dear friends,
The policy made so far by the International Romani Union in it`s over
30 years of activity and moreover starting from its Fifth World Congress
30 years of activity and moreover starting from its Fifth World Congress
has given all the Roma further prestige, further credibility: it has created,
as it is evident, a new path and new chances for all the Roma.
There is no need, here, to underline what is probably known by many
Roma, starting from the official meetings I have had so far with many
Heads of State or of Governments to whom I have delivered the
Declaration of the Roma Nation.
Roma, starting from the official meetings I have had so far with many
Heads of State or of Governments to whom I have delivered the
Declaration of the Roma Nation.
More and very important Governments the IRU is going to meet
starting from the very next days; nevertheless, this is only an example
of the huge engagement of the IRU for the sake of the Roma and
above all of the many who live in dramatic and often tragic conditions
all over the world.

of the huge engagement of the IRU for the sake of the Roma and
above all of the many who live in dramatic and often tragic conditions
all over the world.
My and our will is also the one of making the Voice of the Roma
listened: the voice of all the Roma, the voice of the Roma Nation.
listened: the voice of all the Roma, the voice of the Roma Nation.
It is to furtherly walk on this path that I have decided to put at
disposal of any Roma Organization, Association, even individual, the
right to deliver a Statement during the next Session of the UN
Commission on Human Rights, which is the most important body in
the United Nations after the General Assembly.

community, to the community of the States, the right to speak before it.
The next Session of the UN Commission will be held in Geneva in
March-April 2002.
March-April 2002.
We put at disposal of you the possibility of taking the floor ON THE
BASIS AND IN THE FRAME OF THE RULES OF THE UNITED
NATIONS ( it means that we have the right to deliver only one
statement per Item, that the length of the Statement must not exceed
specified limits, that the contents and the language used in the
statement must respect the rules of the UN, and so on ... ).
All the needed informations related to the mentioned rules are contained
in the UN Web-pages, where it is also specified that any speaker takes
the floor on behalf of the NGO in Consultative Status at the UN.
I do believe that all the Roma Nation which is in search for representation
must say what the community of the states has to listen to, and it is because
of it that I have decided to put at your disposal the right to express yourselves
in the UN.
As it is evident, and as I have said above, not more than one Statement
can be delivered by us per each Item of the Agenda, so that only the
VERY FIRST proposal we will receive will have the possibility to receive
can be delivered by us per each Item of the Agenda, so that only the
VERY FIRST proposal we will receive will have the possibility to receive
an affirmative answer.
It has to be taken into consideration that the official and working languages
in the UN are: Arab, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish.
