Urgent Appeal issued by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP)
This meeting is part of a European Commission action on Biometric Identification, Technology and Ethics(BITE), and is being hosted by the Israeli Center for the Study of Bioterrorism. To convene such a conference on such a topic, in such a location, and under the banner of a European ethical initiative is both unethical and profoundly hypocritical.
We call upon the Commission and the BITE centres to dissociate themselves from the meeting and also urge international speakers and participants to boycott this meeting.
