Libra Institute: a non-profit organization fostering closer relationship, better understanding, and lasting friendship between the people of the United States and the Republic of Poland, through scholarly, educational and literary activities. We, the family members closest to the victims of the Katyń Massacre, brought a legal action against the Russian State before the European Tribunal of Human Rights in Strasbourg (Complaint No. 29520/09). In this letter we draw attention to numerous irregularities that took place in the 1990s, beginning with the opening of international relations that allowed an opportunity to investigate this crime and resolve the remaining questions in order to assure due respect to the victims of the Katyń Massacre. Actions that were carried out during the investigation were indicative of a disregard for the rule of law and societal norms regarding the remains of the victims of the Katyń Massacre. The proceedings resulted in Poland abandoning the bodies of those massacred in the place of their murder.
