Situation in Palestine
The Heads of State and Government of the member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) gathered in Caracas, Venezuela, on April 24, 2024, at the 23rd Summit of Heads of State and Government, within the framework of the International Day of Multilateralism and the Diplomacy of Peace:
- Demand a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through dialogue, based on the creation of two-States, allowing Palestine to exercise its right to self-determination as an independent and sovereign State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the pre-1967 borders, and guaranteeing the right of return of refugees;
- Reiterate the call to the international community to immediately cease fire in Gaza and to stop the genocide, the war crimes and the crimes against humanity perpetrated against its people, which violate the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter, International Law and International Humanitarian Law;
- Reaffirm our support for the immediate membership of Palestine in the United Nations, a just and necessary step that will contribute to the protection of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people;
- Urge that the Israeli government and its supporters be held accountable for the crimes perpetrated against the Palestinian people in accordance with international law.
