The Afro-Asian permanent Committee to support the Palestinian cause
Palestinian issue passed through several stages since the start of the contemporary Palestinian revolution in 1965, where the revolution headquarters were moved among several Arab countries during the following years, leading to the Oslo Accords and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority in 1994, and the return of most of the leadership members and cadres to Palestine.
Arab countries were the essential custodian of the Palestinian revolution for about thirty years. the Arab peoples also had a vital role in protecting the Palestinian revolution and supplying them with cadres and fighters, no doubt that the public support, whether Arab or international has had a significant impact in supporting the Palestinian cause at all levels.
Since 2011, and after what has happened in many Arab countries, internal problems were increased in most of these countries and ordinary citizen became more worried in his internal issues, which reflected negatively on public support and attention to the Palestinian cause as it was before.
From here we suggest upon Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization forming a permanent committee to support the Palestinian cause.
Formation mechanism and the work of the Commission:
we propose upon The permanent secretaries of the organization to circulate the proposal to all Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization members and give them a certain period of time to study and comment, and if approved, we propose to have it in the tenth conference of the organization and intended to be held in Marrakech in October of 2016. we also suggest that the Committee consists of 7-9 of states members of the organization in accordance with a particular mechanism agreed upon .
We also propose that Egypt or any other country to be the host of the headquarters of this Committee, in addition to arrange an annual meeting to discuss its plans and achievements.
The objectives of the Commission:
The overall objective of the Commission is to support the Palestinian cause by all means available through the following ways and methods:
1. Publishing news of the Palestinian cause in all the media available to the Organization and its friends and focus on the re-issue to the conscience and the interest of the people, especially the new generations.
2. The establishment of political activities, such as seminars and demonstrations and festivals and artistic shows and other events that we suggest to be concentrated more in the historical events of the Palestinian cause, such as:
• The first of January / the anniversary of the start of the modern Palestinian revolution.
• The sixteenth of April / Palestinian Prisoners Day.
• The fifteenth of May /the memory of the catastrophe of 1948.
• The fifth of June / the anniversary of the occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and the occupied Syrian Golan.
• The second of November, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.
• The twenty-ninth of November, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
3. Focus on targeting audiences in all age categories and active participation in all the activities proposed.
