Rough draft of Solidarity document considered for UNESCO honor

The 21-point document establishing the Solidarity Trade Union (NSZZ), signed in Gdansk in August 1980, has a good chance to be entered on UNESCO's world heritage list. The idea to submit the 21-point document to UNESCO emerged among Solidarity activists last year during observances of the trade union's 20th anniversary. It turned out that the original version of the document could not be found, a problem that delayed application, since a condition of the application process is the existence of the original document. Luckily, a rough draft was found written on the back of an office cabinet in the warehouse of the Maritime Museum. Now there seem to be no more formal obstacles in proceeding with the application.(Gazeta Wyborcza, 12-13 May, p.4) A.D.
