In the most ambitious multilateral action since the start of Gaza genocide 21 months ago, a coalition of cross-regional states gathered in Bogot\u00e1 has agreed to six coordinated diplomatic, legal and economic measures to restrain Israel\u2019s assault on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and defend international law at large.<\/p>\n

Jointly convened by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs, the Emergency Conference of The Hague Group, brought together 30 states from Africa, Asia, Europe, as well as North America and South America to move beyond words of condemnation \u2014 and to take collective action grounded in international law.<\/p>\n

In the deliberations at the Bogot\u00e1 conference, all 30 participating states unanimously agreed that the era of impunity must end\u2014 and that international law must be enforced without fear or favour through immediate domestic policies and legislation \u2014 along with a unified call for an immediate ceasefire.<\/p>\n

To kickstart that process, 12 states from across the world \u2014 Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and South Africa<\/strong> \u2014 committed to implementing the six measures immediately through their domestic legal and administrative systems to break the ties of complicity with Israel\u2019s campaign of devastation in Palestine \u2014 and set a date of 20th September, to coincide with the 80th Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly, for additional states to join them. Consultations with capitals across the world are now ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hereby announce the following measures,\u201d the Joint Statement on the Conclusion of the Emergency Ministerial Conference on Palestine reads, \u201cto be adopted based on states\u2019 domestic legal and legislative frameworks\u201d:<\/p>\n
