Decoration Piece

- Dwarika Prasad Shrestha

The ‘Decoration Piece’ was written and published in 
‘the Kathmandu Post’ daily, nearly 25 years ago. The 
two black monuments guarding main entrance of the 
ILO building in Geneva, of course, has kept up the 
remembrance of the success of ILO’s noble task that 
helped the black people become free of the slavery in 
1985, afresh and fair. Yet, the ILO has not achieved 
its main objective completely, I suppose. A display of 
nudity of men- both male and/or female in a form of 
black stone, at a public place for ever was a cause of 
insult and humiliation of the mankind. Your sincerely‘s 
humble request is to move them in a good hall inside 
the building and establish with due respect. The 
monument couple are the historic symbol of the ILO’s 
historic effort to abolish the slavery in the world. 
They ‘r not the ‘mere Decoration Piece’.
