For more than seventy-seven years, the Palestinian people have confronted and resisted a permanent Israeli regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid, and genocide.
Today, those crimes continue — enabled by an international infrastructure of courts and ports, foundries and factories, parliaments and tech platforms, insurers and investors.
To close every port, to stop every shipment, to prosecute every criminal — we need political will to meet people's power.
That is why, on the first anniversary of The Hague Group's formation, popular forces from across the world — unions and movements, parties and parliamentarians — return to its birthplace for this historic People's Congress.
Together, we will forge a common plan to end the Nakba — across courts, ports, contracts, and beyond.
