Congressman Cohen is an avid supporter of human rights and democracy around the world and is a member of the U.S. Helsinki Commission. We are highly encouraged by Congressman Cohen joining the Bosnian Caucus, increasing the Caucus to 31 members; and we commend the Bosnian American community in Memphis, Tennessee for their active involvement and support" said ACBH Vice President, Ms. Adna Karamehic-Oates.
