Our painter Zaklina Jacoby, who is among other responsible for the Foundation's Department of Art and Culture, took the hospitality and put her exhibition. The manifestation was organized on the 51st anniversary of the Unite Nations Proclamation about human rights which gave the opportunity to Foundation to convince the artist to donate one of her works to the U.N. Commission of human rights with the appeal for the abolition of the persons on the death sentence. The integrated text of the appeal:
- On the December the 10th 1948, The United Nations General Assembly brought and proclaimed the Universal Declaration about Human Rights.
- From that day till current times, on the beginning of the 3rd millenium, the human rights were violated many times. The human rights were offended and forgotten even by the nations who signed the Universal Declaration.
- Today on the December the 10th responding to the White Helmets Europe Foundation appeal, the painter Zaklina U. Jacoby, whose works of art are exposed in the galleries and museums around the world, is donating one of her paintings to the United Nations Commission for the Human Rights. The profit of this painting shall be used in the battle against death sentence.
- At the same time the White Helmets Europe Foundation, without any wishes to interfere in the justice system of any state, launches one strong appeal to the all humanitarian associations and to the world of culture, without counting any religious, racial, ideological and political differences to sign a petition which asks the states which are practicing death sentence to bring the abolition. In order to save the life of the death sentenced Abdullah Ocelan, the appeal is particularly sent to the Turky Goverement.
