Motion on Human rights in Palestine

Council notes with great concern the blatant disregard for human rights by Israeli forces in the occupied Palestinian lands with aerial/ground attacks against innocent civilians.

 

Council notes the state sanctioned forced evictions of Palestinians from their homes contrary to international law.

 

Council is concerned that HM government has not spoken out against these attacks on the human rights and safety of civilians.

 

Council resolves to:

 

1)     Write to the prime minister & foreign secretary demanding immediate condemnation by HM government against the actions of Israeli forces.

 

2)     Ask HM government to raise this at the United Nations Security Council and seek sanctions against the government of Israel for these blatant breaches of international law.

 

Moved by: Cllr Quesir Mahmood

Seconded by: Cllr Phil Riley
