United Nations takes up the call for Palestine on World Day

United Nations, Nov 29 (Prensa Latina) The commemoration of World Palestine Day today recalls the adoption of the "partition resolution", which stipulated in 1947 the creation of a Jewish state (Israel) and an Arab state, yet to be realized in the occupied territories.

Since 1977, the date adopted by the General Assembly has stressed the need to comply with this instrument for the recognition of two nations with Jerusalem as a corpus separatum subject to a special international regime.

Despite the decades that have passed, of the two states envisaged in that resolution, only one has been created so far: Israel.

The International Day of Palestine therefore provides an opportunity for the international community to focus its attention on the solution of the question of Palestine.

To this end, in 1975 the UN established the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, with a mandate to advise the General Assembly on programs for the defense of the Palestinian people.

In the body’s view, this includes guarantees such as self-determination without external interference, national independence and sovereignty, and the return to their homes and properties from which they were evicted.

Over the years, a network of more than a thousand civil society organizations from all regions of the world has also been created to carry out activities in defense of their cause.
