UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AT 70 & UN NGOs
by Harvey TORDOFF
It is 70 years this month since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights became enshrined in the conscience of the world. In human terms, it is a life-time. Has it been a life well lived, and can we now sit in our rocking chairs content in the knowledge that we have achieved our goal?
Progress has been made, of which we can be proud, but no-one can believe that there is no more to be done. There are still far too many places in the world where systematic abuses of these fundamental rights take place in the name of culture, religion and politics. Wars have continued throughout the last 70 years.

SANATIN LABİRENTLERİNDEN ~ IŞIK YOLLARINA… kitaplarının New York’taki ilk Tanıtım, Söyleşi ve İmza Gününe katılanlar, bu içerikte programların bir kereye mahsus değil bir çok yerde ve çok daha sık yapılması teklifinde bulundular…
Benzer talepler katılımcılardan bir kaç kişi tarafından yinelendi. Bu içerikteki taleplere, Ünver, özellikle 2009 yılından itibaren ve Türk Evi’nin de kapatılmasını takiben, Manhattan’da Türk-Amerikan toplumunun bir araya gelebileceği benzer etkinlikler için mekan temini konusunda ki devam etmekte olan güçlüklere değindi. Bu konuda gönüllü bir STK/NGO olarak, The Light Millennium”a ilişkin girişim ve tecrübeleri çerçevesinde mekan tahsis ve temini konusu biraz sancılı olmakla birlikte, bu mekanın tahsisi çerçevesinde, bir projenin, bir fikrin uygulanmasının %50 sinin güvenceye alınmış olacağını vurguladı.

Sene 1955 , günlerde 6 Eylül, 11 yaşındayım. Memur olan babamın İstanbul’a tayini ile gelmiş ve kiralık bir eve yerleşmiştik.
Yer, Fatih’in Çarşamba semti. Çarşamba polis karakolunun bulunduğu, çarşının başladığı yerin yanından Haliç Fenerine inen dik Camcı Çeşmesi yokuşunun ortalarına denk gelen ve Rumlara ait “Kırmızı Kilise” dediğimiz Rum Patrikhane binasına giden ara yolda köşe başında oturuyorduk. Pencerelerimizden Haliç ve karşı kıyıdaki Kasımpaşa, Hasköy görülürdü.
