Motion 109
Justice for Palestine
“That this Congress is clear that Israel’s assaults in Gaza are tantamount to genocide and condemns ongoing settler and Israeli Defence Force violence against Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
“Congress notes:
- the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian People and the need for immediate action as a just and lasting peace is not only essential for the survival of Palestinians but also for the integrity of international law and human rights; and
- Israel’s actions have increasingly violated and defied international human rights law, international humanitarian law, the Geneva Convention, the Genocide Convention and countless U.N. rulings and resolutions.
Congress calls on the General Council to:
- continue the calls for an end to the violence in Gaza and the occupied territories and a lasting solution to conflict that guarantees self-determination, security and justice for Palestinians; and
- continue support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign for the end of the occupation and colonisation of Palestinian / Arab lands, the removal of the wall, the recognition of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality and respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194.”
