ABSTRACT: An essential role was carried out during this Satyagraha by the initiative of the faxes and telegrams sent to the Chairman and the members of the Fifth Commission of the United Nations General Assembly; there are several texts proposed during the collective hunger strike, and thousands of faxes and telegrams were sent first to the chairman and the members of the Commission and then to the embassies of the countries that opposed the financing. Several appeals signed by various personalities arrived during the Satyagraha.
