November 29

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is observed every November 29, following its establishment by the United Nations General Assembly in 1977. The date commemorates the UN's adoption of the partition plan for Palestine in 1947 and serves to highlight the ongoing humanitarian and political challenges faced by Palestinians. Around the world, events such as conferences, cultural programs, and public forums raise awareness about human rights, refugee issues, and calls for peaceful resolution. Governments, NGOs, and civil society organizations participate in solidarity campaigns, educational initiatives, and fundraisers. The observance underscores the UN's commitment to justice, human rights, and international cooperation, inviting participants to reflect on pathways to peace and reconciliation.
