Description
Israel is involved in a brutal military occupation of the Palestinian territories (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEukvh_Ajv4).
The occupation is responsible for widespread and ongoing human rights
abuses against the local Palestinian population, including destruction
of homes, theft of land & water resources, imprisonment without
trial, torture of prisoners, and construction of Israeli settlements on
occupied Palestinian land.
This is in violation of
international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights & the Charter of the United Nations.
The settlements have also been declared illegal by the International
Court of Justice and the UK government.
The Union believes that
Israel should end its occupation of the Palestinian territories and
allow the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with
international law.
The Union resolves to:-
• Inform
our members of the background to the situation in Israel/Palestine and
to commemorate Palestine Solidarity Day, working with relevant groups
such as the Sheffield Students' Union Palestine Society.
• Lobby our university to divest itself from and terminate any contracts with companies that are complicit in the occupation of the Palestinian territories.
• Join the global movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it ends the occupation and complies with international law (http://www.bdsmovement.net/call).
