It is observed annually on November 29th, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People highlights the ongoing struggle of the Palestinian people for their rights and self determination.
Established by the United Nations in 1977, this day commemorates the General Assembly’s adoption of Resolution 181 in 1947, which proposed the partition of Palestine into independent Arab and Jewish states.
The day serves as a global platform to reaffirm the international community’s commitment to achieving a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian question. It draws attention to the hardships faced by Palestinians under occupation, including displacement, limited access to basic rights and the denial of a sovereign state.
Events and activities worldwide mark this day, including cultural exhibitions, discussions and public statements. The focus remains on advocating for peace, justice and adherence to international law. The United Nations emphasises the need for a two state solution where Israel and Palestine coexist peacefully within secure and recognised borders.
The observance also offers an opportunity for individuals and organisations to show solidarity through raising awareness, engaging in humanitarian efforts or supporting diplomatic initiatives aimed at resolving the conflict.
While this day underscores the challenges, it also inspires hope. It reminds the global community of the potential to foster dialogue, mutual understanding and reconciliation. Solidarity with the Palestinian people is not just a political stance but a humanitarian call for the universal values of equality, dignity and freedom.
The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is a reminder that collective efforts and international cooperation are vital to achieving peace and justice for all.
