Support UNGA Res. Calling for Sanctions on Israel to implement ICJ Ruling on Illegality of its Occupation

BNC

The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition in Palestinian society leading the global BDS movement, calls for immediate pressure on all States to support the updated resolution tabled at the UN General Assembly calling for sanctions on Israel. The resolution is aimed at enacting the July 2024 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) about the illegality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory and its violation of the prohibition of apartheid under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD). A vote is expected in a few days.

On September 10, the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) started in New York.  Whether or not the world body will finally take action this time depends on every single member state from around the world.
