Dear colleagues,

This year, the Annual observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in accordance with General Assembly resolution 32/40, will be held virtually on 10 December 2020 from 11.00 hrs to 13.00 hrs. It is envisaged that following the reading of the message of the Secretary-General, statements will be made by representatives of the Host Country and the Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to UNOV.

Should you wish to take part of this Virtual Event, kindly send us the information of your delegation per email (max 1 members per NGO), together with the attached registration form in word format (Annex I), as soon as possible but at the latest by 4  December 2020, to the Protocol Office, by email to: unovprotocol@un.org.

When submitting the composition of the delegation, your NGO should include each delegate’s individual email address, in order for the delegates to receive the access link to the meeting. Kindly ensure that the emails from the virtual interpretation platform are not blocked by a firewall.

All registered participants will be assigned the observer role, which means that they will be able to follow the agenda via live stream but cannot take the floor. A tentative agenda will be shared with all registered participants by 5 December 2020.

We kindly ask our colleagues leading the NGO Committees to kindly share this email with other relevant NGOs that might be interested to join the event.

Kind regards,
