Online Event: Implementation of International Law to Stop the Genocide

Join us for an urgent online event, “Implementation of International Law to Stop the Genocide”, organized by Global Solidarity for Peace in Palestine (GSPP). This event will bring together activists, peacebuilders, and human rights advocates from around the world to address the ongoing war in Gaza and the systemic oppression Palestinians are facing by Israeli occupation. 

For over 75 years, the Palestinian people have endured relentless occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and violations of their fundamental human rights.
Today, as the violence intensifies in Gaza, our collective voice is needed more than ever. Global solidarity is key to ending these atrocities, implementing international law, and restoring justice and peace to Palestine. 

Global Solidarity for Peace in Palestine (GSPP) is a coalition of organizations from around the world committed to defending the rights of Palestinians and ending the occupation. Our movement is built on justice, human dignity, and respect for international law.
