IHRAAM is now ideally placed to serve as a conduit to the American minority community of all deliberations, conferences, diplomatic activity and international legislation concerning internationally – protected minority and human rights. Even more importantly, IHRAAM is now in the position to facilitate the expression of all grievances voiced by American Minorite’s and their organisations to the world community, through the many channels available to it as an NGO with UN recognition. We at IHRAAM look back in amazement at what has been accomplished in the space of three short years, with the devoted effort of many, but with precious little in the way of financial resources. We wish to thank all of you who have participated in the furthering of this historic effort, and to share with you the congratulations due to the triumphant conclusion of this first stage of our efforts. We have achieved UN recognition. We have successfully opened the door for international attention to the grievances of American minorities.
