The IHEU condemns the destruction of humanist values caused by the violent overthrow of the constitutionally elected government of Chile by the military Junta.

The IHEU also deeply regrets the failure of the Commission on Human Rights of the UN to investigate the killings, torturing, imprisonment, banishment and denial of jobs to the Junta's opposition and the violation of elementary due process and justice to which every individual is entitled.

The IHEU condemns the contempt of humanist values no matter in which country it occurs.

The IHEU deeply regrets that a number of governments, in which even signers of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are included, substitute the rights of man for their own will - and keep refusing investigations especially regarding their opponents (examples: Chile, USSR, Czechoslovakia, Spain, etc.).
