NEW YORK - The fourth World Congress of Ukrainian Lawyers, which took place in Lviv on September 17-19, issued a statement marking the 65th anniversary of the Great Famine.

The text of the statement, accepted by the majority of Congress delegates, follows.

"The fourth World Congress of Ukrainian Lawyers is taking place in the 65th anniversary year of the biggest tragedy of the Ukrainian nation, the Great Famine-Genocide carried out by the Communist regime of Stalin against the Ukrainian nation, especially Ukrainian landowners, to break the backbone of the nation and introduce collectivization. We bow our heads to the 7 million victims of this policy and blame the criminal Communist regime that is responsible for this cruel violation of human and national rights."
