Helsinki raised our consciousness and provided hope for the greater development of human rights the world over. The United States Lnd its European allies have happily subscribed to the Helsinki process. welcoming it as a longneeded tool. we have honestly and fairly adhered to all of its principles.Unfortinately. others have cynically disregarded the process. The Soviet Union and many of its Easte)n European allies continue to suppress the activities and members of Helsinki watch groups. harass dissidents. curtail freedom of religion and culture. and curb emigration by ethnic minorities. Perhaps nowhere is this contempt of the very spirit of Helsinki more painfully evident than in the Soviet Unions treatment of its Jewish citizens. Still. these trangressions should neither dishearten nor discourage us.
