On the eve of the celebration of International Roma Day on April 8, the preparations and finalization of the activities of the IRU are underway, which is organizing its 12th Congress and will be held from April 3 to 6 in Skopje, with more panel discussions and cultural programs.
According to the announcements, about 60 IRU delegates from over 50 countries and over 30 other high-ranking guests, Roma MPs and officials from many European countries, are expected.
Otherwise, all panel discussions will be debated, but the biggest target will be focused on the young new progressive force of the IRU. The idea is that IRU with new young intellectual Roma will be the future of the Roma movement in the world. That is why the IRU slogan for the 12th Congress is "IRU forever".
The Preamble of the Statute of the IRU expresses the common goals and ideas of the Roma Nation, whose representatives actually represent it, and that is why the International Roma Union - IRU was formed. As representatives of the Roma people, they make efforts to protect the Roma population and future generations from all the negative phenomena that the Roma people faced in the past, in the present and in the future, in all forms of discrimination, hate speech, segregation, intolerance, violence, genocide, and we are also deeply confident in respecting fundamental human rights, equality between all sexes, creating a favorable climate for respect for rights, respect for the basic democratic principles of freedom, and the standard of living, as well as the elimination of all irregularities, in cooperation with international institutions that are in charge of it. The mission as well as the goal are the following commitments:
To expand the horizons for the preservation of Roma culture, tradition, customs and language
Respect for basic human rights and freedoms, and respect for all obligations that come with signing all international agreements
To maintain peace and stability in the world
Developing friendly relations between peoples based on respect, and equal rights between peoples
Cooperation to solve problems from an economic, social, cultural and human aspect regarding the Roma
To strengthen support for equal rights, fundamental freedoms, regardless of color, race, sex, language and religion
