Oficial UN documents are likely PD. But Polish is not an oficial UN language, so there is no Polish version of UDHR as an *oficial* UN document. The Polish translation of UDHR that is being published on UN web pages was previously published in Poland, and then adopted by UN. I found no reason that it could be not copyrighted in Polish copyright law. And it is, of course, newer than 70 years. Even, if it is PD in US, it is not PD in Poland (likely it is a fair use translation, but the original translator/publisher is either unreachable or does not want to declare its license. Just unclear status. "You can use it freely if not modified" is all we have received. I doubt thare is any point to create another Polish translation of this document. >Translation copyright problems may exist for many translations of Conan Doyle, > Dickens, Stevenson or Verne. > I also doubt we will get a Wikisource translation of "The Posthumous Papers > of the > Pickwick Club" into eg.

Let's go! Where can we store this? (beside Wikidata of course) Maybe somewhere in http://wikisource.org (sourceswiki)?
