DESCRIPTION:

President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first Captive Nations Week Proclamation in 1959 amidst an escalating Cold War, affirming America's support for the individual liberties of those living under Communist oppression. Since President Eisenhower first proclaimed Captive Nations Week, the world has drastically changed. The burst of freedom following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the emergence of new democracies that are now steadfast allies of the United States and key contributors to the expansion of human rights worldwide.

With each generation, people have breathed new life into democratic ideals, striving for personal freedom, political and economic reform, and justice. This week is about recognizing the millions of people worldwide who continue to fight for their rights and suffer under oppression, occupation and captivity ranging from Palestine to North Korea.
