I fully understand your condemnation and protest. In an e-mail letter to Secretary General of ILH on the 20th January 2012, I announced my withdrawal from the honorary status of President of ILH immediately after an award ceremony in Zagreb 24.1.2012, when the Kenyan humanist and Olympic gold medalist Kipshoge Keino was awarded with the Juan Samaranch Prize. The reason why I left the ILH was very simple: I had no influence on and no knowledge of the activities of ILH, only being present at some award events in a formal position.
