The situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is out of control.
In Gaza, essential aid is still being severely restricted by Israel.
In the occupied West Bank, Palestinians continue to suffer daily attacks by Israeli settlers and journalists & diplomats are being attacked.
There must be a credible political path towards lasting peace, ending the occupation and realizing a two-State solution, with Israel & Palestine living side by side in peace & security.
“Their appeal is clear: this war must end.”
At the Sixth Consultative Meeting on #Sudan in Geneva, @OPESG_Sudan Pekka Haavisto stressed that the voices of Sudanese people must guide peace efforts, with their aspirations for peace and dignity at the centre.

Las personas firmantes de paz hoy construyen nuevos caminos y toman nuevas decisiones. Sin embargo, la estigmatización suele reducirlas a un solo capítulo de su historia.
#MirémonosDeCerca para reconocer quiénes son hoy, sus esfuerzos, sus proyectos y sus aportes al territorio.
