SUMMARY:Engagement with Latin American Civil Society & Palestinian Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:“Engagement with Latin American Civil Society & Palestinian Diaspora \n“A Call for Action to Ensure Recovery and Healing in Gaza and to End Israel’s Illegal Occupation” \nConvened by the \nCommittee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) \nin Santiago de Chile \n12 November 2025 \nThe Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People will hold its second 2025 Consultations with Civil Society Organizations on 12 November 2025 at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) headquarters\, Santiago de Chile. The theme of the Consultations will be “Engagement with Latin American Civil Society & Palestinian Diaspora: “A Call for Action to Ensure Recovery and Healing in Gaza and to End Israel’s Illegal Occupation”. \nSince the beginning of the Gaza war\, CSOs intensified their advocacy work on bringing Israel’s accountability via third states’ obligations not to assist the ongoing war and displacement of Palestinians in Gaza. They have notably been calling for states to impose a two-way military embargo on Israel\, covering the export\, import and transhipment of all arms\, military equipment and technology\, as well as dual-use items in the OPT. Human rights groups continue to call to “pull the plug” on the economy supporting Israel’s illegal occupation. CSOs have also focused on the enforcement of diplomatic sanctions by suspending cooperation in academic\, cultural and sports events\, as well as of targeted sanctions that would put travel bans and asset freezes on individuals and institutions complicit in Israel’s war on Gaza. \nIn this mobilization and public pressure\, Latin American civil society have stood as effective and consistent in their efforts to challenge Israeli impunity and protect Palestinian lives. Historically\, Latin America has been home to vocal opposition to the occupation\, dispossession and displacement of the Palestinian people\, placing the region at the forefront of global solidarity with the Palestinian cause. There are more than 700\,000 Latin Americans of Palestinian origin\, living in 14 countries in the region\, and playing prominent roles in the political\, economic and social life of their countries. \nWith the Consultations taking place after the High-Level Conference on the Implementation of the Two-State Solution in September\, and the subsequent adoption of its New York Declaration by the Ģ����Ƶ General Assembly\, they will be timely to engage with the largest Palestinian diaspora and pro-Palestine and indigenous movements\, stemming from the shift in many Latin American governments and to share outcomes of the New York conferences and new roadmap. The Consultations would also serve as a platform to call for the joint Member States-CSO intensification of efforts to abide by its legal obligations and responsibility under relevant Ģ����Ƶ resolutions and to promote a multilaterally-sponsored peace process\, including civil society\, parliamentarians\, regional organizations and others\, to end the illegal Israeli occupation\, realize the Palestinian people’s inalienable rights and achieve a just and lasting peace. \nThe event will be open to member states\, media and public. \n  \nPROGRAMME  \n10-10.30 a.m. OPENING SESSION  \n Statements by:  \n\nH.E.

SUMMARY:2025 International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
DESCRIPTION:This is a past event announcement page. Please visit here for more details: 2025 International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People\nEvery year on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People\, Ģ����Ƶ Member States stand together in a moment of reflection and renewed commitment to peace. This year’s commemoration will take place amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza following unimaginable violence and a humanitarian catastrophe that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands and forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands more.   \nSolidarity Day commemorates the adoption on 29 November 1947 of General Assembly Resolution 181\, which envisaged the partition of Mandate Palestine into two states – one Arab and one Jewish – with Jerusalem under United Nations administration. Over seven decades later\, after numerous wars and ongoing conflict\, the hope for lasting peace in the Middle East remains unfulfilled. Today\, the need for a durable solution is more urgent than ever.   \nOn this solemn day\, the international community\, led by the Ģ����Ƶ Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People\, gathers for an expression of profound solidarity. The Committee special meeting\, to be held at the Ģ����Ƶ headquarters in New York\, ECOSOC Chamber on 25 November (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.)\, will offer an opportunity for Member States\, regional organizations and civil society to share messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Similar events take place at Ģ����Ƶ offices in Geneva\, Nairobi\, Vienna as well as others throughout the world.  All Member States and Observers\, United Nations organizations\, intergovernmental and civil society organizations are invited to attend.  \nThe event will be webcast at Ģ����Ƶ WEB TV. Commemorations will continue on 4 December with a screening of “The Voice of Hind Rajab”. More details about the screening. \n******************* \nProvisional Programme\n\n10.00 – 10.10 a.m. – H.E.
