The problem of Jewish minorities in the Soviet Union and of the Palestinians in Israel are on the agenda of the “International Meeting on the Right of People to Leave Their Country and Return to it” which opened in Upsala, Sweden, today. The meeting will close June 21. It is sponsored by the International Institute for Human Rights, which is in turn sponsored by French Nobel Prize winner Prof. Rene Cassin.
The Institute was assisted in the preparation of the meeting by the Jacob Blaustein Institute of New York and the faculty of law at Upsala University.
