So. American Executive of World Jewish Congress Holds Three-day Parley

Delegates from five South American countries ended a three-day plenary session of the South American executive of the World Jewish Congress today with a decision to convoke in October 1962 a Latin American Congress of Jewish communities.

The delegates from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay gave extensive consideration to the current political, economic and organizational situation of Jewish communities on the continent. They adopted a resolution repudiating all manifestations of hate dividing peoples and expressed “intense concern” over unpunished violations of the United Nations Human Rights convention. The delegates urged all Latin American countries to prevent and repress such violations.
