The United Nations and advocates of freedom in the world celebrate the 29th of November of each year, on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, in implementation of General Assembly Resolution No. (40/32 B) in 1977, as an expression of its
commitment the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination and establishing their independent sovereign state, with Jerusalem as its capital, as approved by international institutions.
In a press release issued on this occasion, PNC said that security, stability and peace will not be achieved in the region without making the State of Palestine and the rights of its people its center and
foundation, and eliminating the Israeli occupation with all its terror, aggression and settlement imposed on Palestinian people and land.
PNC added that while Palestinian people are remembering the 73 years since the unjust and forced partition of Palestine and against its will into two states, according to UN Resolution No. 181 on 29th of Nov.
1947, it affirms the legal and moral duty of the world’s countries and institutions - foremost among which is the UN and the parties that supported Partition - in implementing the other part of this decision to establish the free and independent State of Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.
The international solidarity with the Palestinian people must lead to the establishment of the State of Palestine, in implementation of UN Security Council resolutions, especially Resolutions 1515 of 2003, 1397 of 2002 and 2334 of 2016, and ending the Israeli occupation of the territories of the Palestinian state, in compliance with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 67/19 issued on Nov. 29, 2012, which recognized Palestine as an observer state on the borders of June 4, 1967, PNC affirmed.
In its statement, PNC continued: The successive UN resolutions that affirmed the inalienable rights of our people cannot be nullified or aborted by a renegade group who has corrupted international relations and violated international law, the United Nations Charter and its resolutions.
On this occasion, PNC called on all countries of the world to put pressure on the Israeli occupation government to stop implementing its plans to annex more of our Palestinian occupied land, especially in the occupied city of Jerusalem, which is exposed to the most dangerous settler colonial project, targeting its history and future as the eternal capital of the State of Palestine.
The broad global solidarity with the rights of Palestinian people must be accompanied by the enforcement of the rules of international law and the four Geneva Conventions, in addition to punishing the aggressor, providing international protection for our defenseless people, and putting an end to the escalation of settlements, confiscating lands, demolishing homes, and arresting thousands of alestinians, PNC said.
PNC called on the parliaments and federations of the world, especially the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to do what was stated in the General Assembly resolution on solidarity with the Palestinian people, and to communicate with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and international human rights organizations to lift the injustice of the Palestinian people, end the Israeli occupation and enable the Palestinian people to obtain all their rights.
In its statement, PNC saluted the Palestinian people steadfast on their land, places of refuge and diaspora for continuous sacrifices and adherence to their rights, and also saluted all global solidarity
movements, foremost of which is the global boycott movement, BDS, denouncing at the same time the decision of Trump Administration’s Secretary of State to consider the movement an anti-Semitic one. PNC called on BDS to continue its activities against the occupation, which made the State of Palestine and its people the last occupied state and people in the world.
