29th November 2024
Today is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
“In 1977, the General Assembly called for the annual observance of 29 November as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (resolution 32/40 B). On that day, in 1947, the Assembly adopted the resolution on the partition of Palestine (resolution 181 (II)) In resolution 60/37 of 1 December 2005, the Assembly requested the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the Division for Palestinian Rights, as part of the observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on 29 November, to continue to organise an annual exhibit on Palestinian rights or a cultural event in cooperation with the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the UN.”(1)
This year’s exhibition is entitled “Gaza, Palestine: A Crisis of Our Humanity” and is displayed in the Visitors’ Lobby of the UN’s General Assembly Building.
Most of us won’t get to see the exhibition! But the UK’s Palestinian Solidarity Campaign has invited us all to display a poster of solidarity(2).
Just imagine if every single house in every street displayed this poster! Wouldn’t that be an impactful exhibition of solidarity!!
