People Against Genocide Everywhere Zoom Meeting Uniting for Peace Resolution

June 24, 2025

There was consensus that UN troops need to be sent into Gaza immediately and to achieve this, the global movement must mobilize around one demand: “UN Protection Forces into Gaza now.” ALL actions must carry this demand. This is a global initiative, working on two fronts, 1) the UN and governmental fronts, and 2) the mass movement front. Please read the strategy information on the following link for more details: UN PROTECTION FORCES INTO GAZA NOW!

There is a strategy and timetable for this to happen ( click here)

There is a symbiotic relationship between the organizational and structural component of the UN and the diplomatic avenues of addressing this Resolution, and the global protest movement to pressure the UN countries to move rapidly to vote on and enforce this Resolution. That a strong and focused global campaign allows those countries who support the Resolution encouragement and cover, while at the same time putting pressure on those countries who may be vacillating or perhaps even opposed to UN intervention. That there is never a monolithic structure in any country, and mass actions would give strength to any minority segment in a country supporting the Resolution.

Over 60 people met to discuss the Uniting for Peace Resolution calling for the UN to immediately send UN troops into Gaza and the other Occupied Territories to stop the genocide and open all humanitarian corridors without interference or participation from Israel or the U.S. The focus of the meeting was to evaluate the viability of the PAGE proposal (click here to view), to discuss what would be the necessary conditions needed to have such a resolution passed, and how the necessary political and social conditions could be evaluated and developed for its success. The meeting was moderated by Eric Rubin and Kate Gordon.

Craig Mokhiber, former director of the UN Human Rights Office in New York, who was a meeting participant, was asked to open the meeting with his insights and thoughts of the above. Here is a summation of his opening remarks:

· Only a 2/3 vote by the General Assembly is needed to pass the resolution, and no Security Council vote is necessary.

· The Uniting for Peace mechanism was used to override a Security Council member veto during the Suez Canal conflict of 1956.

· The Uniting for Peace resolution empowers the General Assembly to take action on matters of international peace and security when the Security Council fails to do so due to lack of unanimity among its permanent members.

· Any country can call for the Emergency Special Session (ESS). But only Palestine could provide the consent necessary to deploy a mission there.

· The Uniting for Peace resolution could authorize the deployment of a UN defensive peacekeeping force to Gaza and eventually to all of the Occupied Territories, since Israel has no sovereignty or authority in Gaza, the West Bank, or East Jerusalem, and their presence there is entirely unlawful.

· The UNGA cannot “enact” sanctions, but it can call on all states to embargo arms, and cease all trade, investment, economic, diplomatic, and cultural relations with the Israeli regime. It can also call for the creation of a tribunal to investigate and bring to trial all those charged with crimes against humanity.

· If the State of Palestine requests the Resolution, troops can legally enter Gaza and the rest of Palestine as well, as the ICJ has found that Israel has no sovereignty or authority in Gaza, the West Bank, or East Jerusalem, and their presence there is entirely unlawful. Thus, the only required consent is the State of Palestine, (although the resolution should also call for full cooperation from Egypt and Jordan to facilitate the staging and entry of the UN force).

· The State of Palestine would be the best, quickest, and most favorable UN member to approve the resolution and submit it to the UN General Assembly, but any country can call for an ESS of the GA to begin the same process. Co-sponsors from a small group of core countries from each region of the world should be sought and lobbied, such as South Africa, Namibia, Spain, Ireland, and Norway. The State of Palestine and the General Assembly would then decide which countries would send troops and armaments into Gaza, and potentially the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

· The entire State of Palestine is also under occupation and faces difficulties; acknowledging this and understanding the political dynamics and contradictions there can help us understand how to best approach and work with them.

· The focus should be putting mass pressure on the UN in New York and UN Missions as the primary focus, and pressure on Israeli embassies and consulates should be secondary and used in locations where the primary focus locations are not accessible.

Eric Rubin then stated that: Despite the mass protests against the genocide for the past 20 months, the genocide has only gotten worse, and that an immediate change of course is needed, and that focus must be to immediately "Send a “UN Protection Force into Gaza Now.” With this new focus all slogans,protests, signs, banners, etc. should reflect this shift. If mass continuous pressure is created utilizing the targeted picket-lines in each country targeting the Ports and UN agency headquarters, and National Seats of Government this changes the role of protests by calling for each government to play an active and deciding role in supporting the specific and concrete action of the Uniting for Peace Resolution and actions contained in it.

· There is a strategy and timetable for this to happen ( click here)

· There is a symbiotic relationship between the organizational and structural component of the UN and the diplomatic avenues of addressing this Resolution, and the global protest movement to pressure the UN countries to move rapidly to vote on and enforce this Resolution. That a strong and focused global campaign allows those countries who support the Resolution encouragement and cover, while at the same time putting pressure on those countries who may be vacillating or perhaps even opposed to UN intervention. That there is never a monolithic structure in any country, and mass actions would give strength to any minority segment in a country supporting the Resolution.

· Picket-lines at shipping Ports Internationally creates a 24/7 awareness, and though the pickets would not try to prevent access to the Ports, it does provide “cover” for any dockers who sympathize, and any slowdowns in international shipping may be seen as incentive for a “facilitated resolution.”

· The global social movement will not be methodical, but likened to the student encampments, first there was one, then a week later there were hundreds. “A single spark, can start a prairie fire.”

Most common questions from attendees:

· How do we do this? What are the action steps we can take right now to move this forward? How do we contact these other countries that are more supportive of Palestine?

· How are we getting this message out to the many organizations internationally so we can all be on the same page?

· Is there an international or should there be individual national petitions demanding UN troops into Gaza?

· Because the US & Israel will intimidate, threaten and punish nations that go against them, and since Israel & the US are determined to ethnically cleanse Gaza, how likely to succeed is Craig's worthy suggestion?

· How should we reach out to the Global March to Gaza participants and bring them on board with this? Initiatives like the fleet of ships that Malaysia is sending to break the blockade should be a focused on as well.

· Even though the US will not participate, how can those in the US most effectively assist so that the US military will not obstruct the effort on land, sea, and air as a UN Emergency Force deploys?

Notable comments and questions:

· One participant active with the UN stated that student encampments and activism have a huge impact on the UN, shaping how UN staff speak and conduct their meetings. They emphasized the role of student encampments in the fall of apartheid in South Africa, noting countries falling like dominoes after enough public and financial pressure was mounted.

· Another participant noted both the urgent and personal nature of this issue stating they don’t trust the Palestinian Authority, and asked if the troops would be in the rest of Palestine as well or just Gaza, or is this subject to the discretion of the countries introducing this resolution. What would the timeline be? Why hasn’t this been done already? “We need the genocide to stop so I will support almost anything to make this happen. But if we get this going and Israel doesn’t let them in, then what? What are the methods of enforcement and/or consequences if they won’t let them in or they target them.” Has anyone reached out to Francesca about this proposal and what are her thoughts?

· Another participant stated that the fast outside of the UN office in New York City is scheduled through the end of June and advised the fast should continue past June as a way to pressure the UN and create publicity. They asked if there are existing groups that could help? E.g., Progressive International and The Hague Group. Or are they passive and do we need to start from scratch?

Other concerns and questions from attendees:
- The Samson option was brought up as a concern and potential obstacle.
- Egypt and Jordan’s complicity, and Egypt specifically being the second largest recipient of US aid was brought up as a concern, as the US would likely threaten to cut off aid if Egypt cooperated.
- How would we lobby friendly states like Ireland, South Africa, etc. to mobilize support in advance of a vote?
- What can we do at a local level? Would it be wise to organize a constant local picket line and what is our timeline on that?
- The Hague Group is meeting in Brazil next month; but perhaps we should suggest to the Hague Group to send its diplomats to hold its meeting inside Gaza (go via Egypt and challenge Egyptians to stop foreign diplomats not activists) and bring media with them. Why bother having it in Brazil?
- How can this be linked to support protests against Maersk being organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement?

Conclusion

There was consensus that a “UN Protection Force” needs to be sent into Gaza immediately and to achieve this, the global movement must mobilize around one demand: “UN Protection Force into Gaza now.” ALL actions must carry this demand. This is a global initiative, working on two fronts, 1) the UN and governmental fronts, and 2) the mass movement front.

Craig Mokhiber, former Dir. of UN Human Rights Office in NYC

Says "Invoke General Assembly "Uniting for Peace" resolution! UN Troops into Gaza & West Bank Now!

Dear Friends,

As we watch the Israeli genocide moving more rapidly towards Israel’s “final solution”, many of us are feeling helpless, frustrated, and angry; wishing that there was a concrete way to send in troops to open the humanitarian corridors and to stop the genocide. We all feel there must be something else that can be done to stop this now.

There is! But it will take a global realignment of changing our tactics, changing our demands, and changing our focus!

Craig Mokhiber, former Director of the UN Human Rights Office in New York, has recommended invoking the General Assembly’s Uniting for Peace resolution. According to Mokhiber: “The Security Council has been paralyzed by vetoes from member states. The General Assembly must now act under the Uniting for Peace resolution to protect civilians and uphold international law.” — Between the Lines Radio, June 11, 2025

The Uniting for Peace mechanism was adopted in 1950 and has been used in crises such as the Suez Conflict of 1956. It allows the General Assembly to take measures including:

Mandating a ceasefire
Authorizing the deployment of UN Peacekeepers
Calling on all member nations to embargo arms and sanctions

“This is not unprecedented. In 1956, the General Assembly acted when the Security Council was blocked. The same must happen now.” — Accuracy.org Statement, June 9, 2025

Demand that your country call for an Emergency Special Session meeting of the General Assembly to immediately institute United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Uniting for Peace Resolution and deploy troops across Gaza immediately as a protection force to safeguard Palestinian civilians, (and potentially the West Bank and East Jerusalem).

This is what Craig Mokhiber has proposed and we support:

The UN troops should be armed for self-defense, equipped with monitoring technologies, and mandated to:

Safeguard Palestinian civilians
Preserve evidence of potential war crimes and violations of human rights
Support the UN’s entry and distribution of humanitarian aid
Facilitate reconstruction

The Resolution should also include a call on all member states to:

Completely embargo arms to Israel
Cease all trade, investment, economic, diplomatic, and cultural relations with the Israeli government
Strip Israel of its UN credentials

This can and must be done immediately and can only happen if we globally shift our actions and strategies to a specific and tangible plan.

A step-by-step plan and timeline to open all bring in UN Peacekeeping Troops to stop the genocide and open all humanitarian aid routes under UNWRA, with no US or Israeli interference or intervention.

It is time to change our tactics, demands, and focus!

CLICK HERE FOR THE PLAN JOIN US NOW! WE CAN HAVE TROOPS IN WITHIN 15 DAYS!

Rember that the ICJ has found that Israel has no sovereignty or authority in Gaza, the West Bank, or East Jerusalem, and their presence there is entirely unlawful.

In solidarity,

A step-by-step plan and timeline to stop the genocide in Gaza and to open all Aid Routes within 96 HOURS! It is time to change our tactics, change our demands, and change our focus!

It is time to change our tactics, change our demands, and change our focus!

There is only one solution! Sending International troops, planes, and ships to Gaza now to stop the genocide and provide safe passage for all humanitarian aid for Gaza, to be distributed and coordinated by the UN, and without interference by Israel or the United States.

There are TWO options: One is sending in UN Peacekeepers and including all countries who want to send in additional troops under UN General Assembly leadership, OR, Individual countries sending in their own troops or collectively with other countries. Both are viable, and both have their own inherent strengths and weaknesses. We advocate that the basis of unity and action must be “Troops on the ground, in the air, and on the sea, in Gaza Now!” We recognize that although the International Armed Forces (UN Peacekeepers, or others) are critical in stopping Israel’s genocide in Gaza, they will constitute an occupying army as well. And thus, they have a responsibility to treat all people and groups in Gaza who have, are, and will be fighting against the Israeli occupation, as legal entities and organizations representing the people of Gaza, and in no way will they be militarily or politically targeted as “enemy combatants”. Any plan that respects the above, we unite with and encourage others to do.

This global action of putting pressure on our respective governments to initiate and support the UN General Assembly “Uniting for Peace Resolution”, should be our one and only focus of actions at this moment. We propose a focused strategic move to “slow down” the flow of capital globally on a daily basis by utilizing picket-lines until the UN troops are in Gaza, and the Israeli armed forces are NOT. Thus creating the material conditions for both the UN to clearly see that they not only have a global mandate to immediately bring in UN Peacekeepers into Gaza, but that the world supports their actions if done expeditiously and firmly, and that the global movement to stop the genocide in Gaza, sees that the UN can play an immediate and vital role in stopping the genocide, but only under the watchful and demanding eyes of the world!

Slowing down “business as usual” at as many ports globally as possible and simultaneously slowing down “business as usual” at as many Israeli Embassies and Consulates as possible globally is NOT just another protest; this strategy has only one very clear and succinct goal. To immediately force the majority of the countries in the UN General Assembly to take an immediate stand in circumventing the US Security Council Veto by demanding an immediate Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly to vote on the "Uniting for Peace" resolution that allows the General Assembly to circumvent a Security Council veto with a 2/3 majority of the General Assembly ONLY!

The bottom line is that if there are NOT armed troops on the ground, in the air, and on the sea in Gaza IMMEDIATELY, that first off Israel will continue their already accelerated push for their “Final Solution” for Gaza, the horrific potential conclusion which may be only weeks away. And secondly, that even if humanitarian aid is able to penetrate the Israeli air, land and sea blockade of Gaza, as long as Israel militarily controls Gaza, any aid or even self-sufficiency as farming, can never be distributed to those who need it. Now is NOT the time to debate but to act, a month from now may be too late for those of Gaza.

As of today June 12th, 2025 Israel has done two additional things in Gaza, that should make it very clear that they are getting ready to institute in total their “final solution”. 1. Israel has destroyed the one remaining cell tower in Northern Gaza, creating an almost total Blackout of any news or social media being able to be transmitted out of Gaza, and 2. They have shut down the few remaining financial platforms that individuals and agencies have been able to get money into Gaza for what little food or medical supplies can be bought. Activists globally may feel that we must debate strategies and tactics to stop the genocide, but the people of Gaza do not agree! Now is the time to act! Without troops IMMEDIATELY assisting in the air over Gaza, on the ground in Gaza, and on the sea around Gaza, Israels’ final solution” for Gaza will happen, and death by slow starvation or being blown apart from a bomb will be the alternatives that that the world will leave for the people of Gaza! Do NOT let this happen.

We have already seen these sparks as isolated acts of rebellion. Imagine if every isolated act of rebellion, no matter where or doing whatever, had the same demand; “UN Peacekeeping Troops into Gaza Immediately!”. One chant, one demand heard around the world, in many languages, but all focused on supporting our Palestinian sisters and brothers in stopping the genocide so that they can live and determine their future.

This is the living definition of SOLIDARITY

This whole proposal may sound farfetched, but I ask you, what are the other alternatives?

Eric Rubin (spokesperson) www.PeopleAgainstGenocideEverywhere.org

A step-by-step plan and timeline to stop the genocide in Gaza and to open all Aid Routes within 96 HOURS

The plan

Have one United Nations member country call for an emergency Special Session meeting of the General Assembly to immediately institute United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution 377 A, the "Uniting for Peace" resolution which states that “in any cases where the Security Council, because of a lack of unanimity among its five permanent members (P5), fails to act as required to maintain international security and peace, the General Assembly shall consider the matter immediately and may issue appropriate recommendations to UN members for collective measures, including the use of armed force when necessary, in order to maintain or restore international security and peace.” UNGA Resolution 377 A It was adopted 3 November 1950 and has been used multiple times by the General Assembly to override UN Security Council Permanent Member Vetoes. There have been situations where the UN has utilized the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, and troops have been deployed within 13 days. Let’s make it quicker!

2. When the Call by the first country for a joint UN Emergency Special Session, ALL “picket-lines” begin globally at the shipping Ports and Israeli embassies worldwide. Put direct pressure on all countries to initiate an immediate vote for this resolution.

There will be only one demand, “UN General Assembly vote on and employ "Uniting for Peace" resolution, Send armed UN PEACEKEEPERS into Gaza immediately”.

The UN Resolution will clearly state:

· UN Peacekeepers (and all countries willing to assist the UN Peacekeepers utilizing air, sea and ground support under UN leadership), will be tasked immediately to stop the slaughter and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the Occupied Territories by the Israeli occupying forces!

· All aid routes (by land, air, and sea) to be opened immediately, and protected by UN troops. All humanitarian aid will be delivered and distributed by UNRWA and any additional sources that they choose. No Israeli or US intervention or private contractors.

3. Once the Resolution is passed, the picket-lines must grow even stronger and raise a new demand globally as the countdown begins. The new demand at this time becomes “Within 96 hours UN troops must be on the ground, in the air, and on the sea in Gaza! Stop all military actions and blockades by Israel against Gaza. UNRWA in Gaza and ALL aid routes open and protected by UN Peacekeepers! US/Israeli contractors out of Gaza now! Swift military retaliation on any Israeli attacks on civilians or UN troops.

All picket-lines in all participating countries demanding that their government send additional troops, planes, ships, and any other necessary armaments to halt the Israeli bombings, sniping, homes schools, and hospital demolitions in Gaza, and demand that this happens within 72 hours.

All actions will continue until Isreal ceases all aggression against the Palestinian people. If Israel launches attacks from within Israel against the people of Gaza or anywhere within Palestine, the UN Peacekeepers will be mandated to retaliate appropriately to neutralize the threat.

That’s it. Let’s get moving, every minute wasted is more innocent Palestinian people dying or injured.
