We the undersigned no longer accept systems based on the apparatus of colonisation, occupation, and apartheid, wherever they exist. The apartheid regime in South Africa crumbled under the power of world opinion. Similarly apartheid practised today in the Occupied Territories with its machinery of settlements & settler-only roads, checkpoints and the Israeli built separation wall must also be dismantled.

We assert the inalienable birthright of just, peaceful co-existence in a world that guarantees the rights of peoples to self determination; a world without walls, that celebrates the oneness of humanity amidst our magnificent diversity; a world that guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of movement and freedom of all people to worship according to their belief without encroaching on the rights of others; a world where compassion, co-operation and mutual understanding are the basis of human relationships.

Concurrently we request that the UN act to protect the rights of all inhabitants of all religious faiths and racial origins of Jerusalem to access to their city and holy sites, and to practise their religions in safety and security without interference, restrictions or provocation.

1) We request that whatever mechanisms may be necessary are initiated to place the city of Jerusalem under UN protection to ensure the safety of all holy sites, whether Muslim, Christian or Jewish, and the equal rights of all its citizens, whether Palestinian, Israeli or other, until such time as a just solution can be negotiated between the parties in conflict.

2) We request that serious consideration be given to placing Israel under international sanctions until such time as it agrees to abide by UN resolutions and international laws and conventions to which it is a signatory; with the intention of bringing Israel back into the family of nations governed by International laws and norms.
