#CrimeaIsUkraine, Oxford University Press and Larousse twitter/message storm. Clickable tweets here

[mwm-aal-display]

The French publisher Larousse and UK publisher Oxford University Press have published materials that picture Crimea as part of the Russian Federation. While Oxford University Press have, following public inquiries, published a statement where they promise to edit their textbook before any additional copies are sold, they have not stated about a decision to recall all unsold copies of the textbook. Meanwhile, Larousse has not made any public statements/responses to the inquiry of the Ukrainian embassy to France. The paper edition of their 2016 Atlas fails to show Crimea as part of Ukraine; the digital map of Ukraine on their site where Crimea is shown as part of Ukraine is dated by 2013 and is likely to be simply an old version.

We salute Oxford University Press’s promise to correct the situation. However, it is unacceptable that textbooks that have the text with the mistake will be continue to be sold. They must be recalled!

We demand that:

  • the publishers issue a loud public statement saying that the publication of this information was a fatal mistake and that their sources of information have failed;
  • the publishers withdraw all unsold copies of the Atlas and Textbook with erroneous information and fix the mistakes;
  • the publishers immediately post the fixed Chapter on Crimea on all their pages for downloading by teachers/students/readers that already purchased the Textbook/Atlas;
  • the publishers apologize before Ukrainians, and especially Crimean Tatars, for publishing material that contradicts the UN resolution on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which was adopted by 100 countries, including their own, in the UN Resolution 68/262.
