Join us for an urgent and transformative global conference, “Implementation of International Law to Stop the Genocide”, organized by Global Solidarity for Peace in Palestine (GSPP). This event will bring together activists, peacebuilders, and human rights advocates from around the world to address the ongoing war in Gaza and the systemic oppression Palestinians are facing by Israeli occupation.

For over 75 years, the Palestinian people have endured relentless occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and violations of their fundamental human rights.
