1017.0. "Shultz Human Rights Award" by PACKER::PACKER::JULIUS () Thu Dec 27 1990 17:55
from 'The Jewish Reporter' December, 1990
Shultz Human Rights Award
The Council of Jewish Federations presented the first George P. Shultz
Human Rights Award to the former U.S. Secretary of State for "distinguished
leadership and public contribution to the cause of human rights on behalf
of Soviet Jewry," during CJF's 59th General Assembly in San Francisco,
Nov. 13-18, 1990.
CJF has established the George P. Shultz Human Rights Award to honor on
occasion an outstanding individual who has advanced the cause of human
rights in the national or international arena.
During his tenure as U.S. Secretary of State, Shultz was instrumental in
securing U.S. Government support to press for the release of large numbers
of Jews from the Soviet Union. He also helped formulate policies to
smooth the immigration process and confirm the refugee status of Soviet
Jews. Shultz's personal and public adoption of the cause of Soviet Jewry
helped to focus worldwide attention and support, and helped to bring about
the massive emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union, which still continues.
