ISTANBUL (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The 5th Conference of the League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds (LP4Q), held in Türkiye, called at its final session for criminalizing dealing with the Israeli occupation regime and coordinating efforts to prosecute the criminals of the genocidal war in Gaza.
The conference’s final statement called for the establishment of an international legal initiative supported by parliamentarians and legislative councils aimed at coordinating legal efforts to prosecute genocide criminals in the Gaza Strip, and to support the global boycott movement against the Israeli occupation state and its supporters.
The statement urged parliaments to legislate laws that promote the boycott movement and criminalize dealing with the occupation.
Last Monday, the League concluded the activities of its fifth international parliamentary conference in Istanbul, that was held for three days under the theme: “Freedom and Independence for Palestine.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Speaker of the Turkish Parliament Numan Kurtulmuş, several intellectual and political elites, representatives of popular movements, and more than 700 parliamentarians from 80 countries around the world participated in the conference.
The parliamentarians who attended the conference stressed “the necessity of taking all measures that would lead to an immediate cessation of the war of genocide, lifting the siege on the people of Gaza, and holding all those involved in such crimes accountable.”
The conference also called on all participating parliamentarians and parliaments to activate the role of the LP4Q to function as a global parliamentary legal and political umbrella that supports Palestinian rights and organizes international parliamentary efforts to confront the parties backing the war of genocide on the Gaza Strip.
The conference held intellectual, legal, and political seminars, focusing mainly on the genocide crimes that have been committed by the Israeli occupation army in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, as well as the ongoing violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque, the city of occupied Jerusalem and the Jerusalemite people.
The attendees stressed the importance of establishing “a global alliance to revive the system of right, justice, values and principles that cross parliaments, governments and peoples, in the face of the alliance of oppression, injustice, tyranny, occupation and racism that supports the Israeli occupation state in its criminal war on the Gaza Strip.”
