Engel, Eliot L. [D-NY-17] | NY | D | E000179 | 7 | Condemns the construction of the shopping center within the internationally protected zone around the Auschwitz death camp as a violation of international legal conventions signed by Poland and as a trivialization and desecration of the site. Calls upon the Government of Poland to: (1) overrule local authorities, comply with its international legal obligations, and permanently halt commercial construction at such site; and (2) permanently close the grounds within the internationally protected zone around it to any development. Recognizes the special nature of the death camp and the sanctity of the ground upon which it rests. | 2025-01-02T17:33:24Z |
