Proclamation 9767
Captive Nations Week, 2018
This proclamation designates July 15-21, 2018 as Captive Nations Week, continuing a Cold War-era tradition begun by President Eisenhower in 1959. It expresses solidarity with people living under authoritarian regimes and calls on Americans to reaffirm commitment to global liberty, but contains no binding policy directives, sanctions, or operational mandates.
