"Although his first poems were written in 1916, Osmachka began his literary career while he was a student at the Kyiv Institute of People's Education from 1920 to 1923. He belonged to the literary organizations Aspys and Lanka [Later known as 'Maisternia Revoliutsiinoho Slovaâ' (Workshop of the Revolutionary Word) or MARS] and published his first collection of poetry, Krucha (The Precipice) , in 1922; it was followed by two more collections, Skytski vohni (The Scythian Fires, 1925) and Klekit ([Crane's] Clacking, 1929) . Like other members of MARS he was attacked and arrested for his 'unpolitical' literary works, but managed to save himself from execution by feigning insanity. During the 1930s he faced constant persecution by the authorities and was unable to publish any works. During the Second World War he fled to Western Ukraine, then to displaced persons camps in Germany, and finally to the United States. Osmachka's personal ordeal had lasting effects on him, and until his death he suffered from a persecution complex. Nonetheless he resumed his literary career in 1943 in Lviv with the publication of his fourth collection of poetry, Suchasnykam (To My Contemporaries) . In the displaced persons camps, where he was a member of the MUR literary organization, he published his epic poem, written in octaves, Poet (Poet, 1946) , as well as his first prose work, Starshyi Boiaryn (The Best Man, 1946)."

Bucharest 4/17 January 1897 - d. New York 24 August 1960) was a Romanian legal expert. During the interwar period, he promoted the notion of international criminal proceedings against heads of state found guilty of crimes against humanity, through the establishment of a special international tribunal for that purpose. In 1938 he served as President of the Committee on Legal Questions of the League of Nations. In 1944 he was appointed Romanian Ambassador to Switzerland, and in that capacity saved some Romanian Jews from deportation to Nazi occupied Poland. In 1948, he took part in formulating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. He kept advocating the idea of establishing an international criminal court, and in 1950 presented his proposals to that effect to the International Law Commission (UN document A/CN.4/39) , which deliberated over the issue in its meetings of 5 to 6 July 1950 (Wikipedia 2015) .
