Uusi Suometar
''Uusi Suomi'' () was a Finnish daily newspaper that was published from 1919 to 1991. The headquarters was in Helsinki, Finland. History and profile ''Uusi Suomi'' was established in 1919 as a continuation of two earlier newspapers, ''Suometar'' (1847–1866) and ''Uusi Suometar'' (1869–1919). ''Suometar'' had been primarily concerned with pursuing issues relating to the Finnish population; its successor ''Uusi Suometar'' had represented closely related Fennoman views. Two of its contributors, Linda Pylkkänen and Risto Sihtola, visited Italy in the late 1930s as guests of the Fascist government, and the paper was asked by the Italians to publish articles in favor of the Fascist rule.

From its foundation in 1919 to 1976 ''Uusi Suomi'' was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From The Grand Duchy Of Finland
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession.
