Conference: The EU, UN, US and Corporate complicity in Israel’s apartheid policy
Description: What are the roles of third parties (corporations, institutions, states) in prolonging Israel’s occupation of Palestine?

Conference: Local authorities in support of Palestinian rights
Description: In December 2014 the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, UCLG, FAMSI and the Junta of Andalucia organized an international conference of local authorities and civil society in support of Palestine. We want to present the concluding document, the Olive Declaration – a document calling on local authorities to promote cooperation with Palestine and to respect their obligations to adopt a principled, ethically responsible and transparent procurement, investment and contracting policies in front of entities involved in Israeli violations of human rights and international law. We further want to discuss steps to follow up this declaration.
