"Felicitas Liberorum Suprema Lex" (IYC in Poland and the World)

Lucas L. Kulczycki MD1

1 Department of Pediatrics, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC

The year 1979, the 20th anniversary of the Declaration of the Rights of Children, formulated by the United Nations, is declared an International Year of the Child (IYC).

During this year each nation is focusing on the problems and needs of its own children, and attempting to share its resources with needy children of the world. An International Secretariat of UNICEF is coordinating world activities of the IYC.

In the United States a National Commission of the IYC was established with Mrs. Jean Young as chairperson. The National Institutes of Health launched an exhibit entitled "NIH Research: Helping Children Grow into Healthy Adults."
