1919 June 10, COMITE DES DELEGATIONS JUIVES (Committee of Jewish Delegations) (France)
Submitted a proposal to the Paris Peace Conference requesting them to
include in all treaties a provision for guaranteeing minority rights. The
committee which didn't include the French and British delegations (who
considered it too nationalistic), included dozens of Jewish organizations
world wide and represented about12 million Jews. Among its resolutions
were also that countries would be held responsible for pogroms committed
on their soil, and another supporting the rights of the Jewish people to
Eretz- Israel. The Committee dispersed in 1936 when it was replaced by
the World Jewish Congress.
