Justice for Palestine – Right to Self-Determination
That State Conference resolves that Victorian Labor affirms the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination and calls on the Federal Labor Government to:
- Support the inalienable right of self-determination for the Palestinian people;
- Immediately recognise Palestine as a fully independent sovereign state within the term of this parliament;
- Welcomes the Federal Labor Government’s vote in favour of the UN General Assembly resolution extending Palestine’s participation rights as a UN observer;
- Utilise international forums to demand an end to the perpetual military occupation and human rights violations, which are in flagrant violation of international law; and,
- Advocate for the implementation of UN Resolutions which provide a solution for peace and security for both sides
