On Palestine, the communique reaffirmed the AIPU’s firm support for all efforts aiming at supporting the Palestinian cause and the Palestinians’ struggle to establish their independent sovereign state with Al-Quds as its capital.
The communique called on the Security Council and all influential international humanitarian organizations as well as democratic Parliaments and international parliamentary unions to assume their legal responsibilities and work to put an end to the Israeli occupation’s inhuman practices towards the Palestinian people and halt its settlement expansion schemes.
