I. Background
An International Network in Action Université Libre de Bruxelles
Brussels, Belgium July 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2004
I. Background
An urgent international conference entitled An End to Occupation, A Just Peace in Israel-Palestine: The Role of Academia, was held in Tel Aviv University in June 2003, with a strong participation of Palestinian, Israeli and International academics. It was seen as a landmark in mobilizing the Academia worldwide to promote an end of the Israeli occupation of 1967, as well as the establishment of a just peace in Israel-Palestine. A second conference, with a much larger participation, from many countries, held in E. Jerusalem in January, 2004 proposed to continue and build upon the momentum created by the first conference in order to promote similar objectives, but with an explicit recognition of the regional context.
We urge groups, networks and institutions sharing our objectives- an end to all occupations, a just peace, democracy, political sovereignty and regional security- to endorse our call for an International Network for Peace, Justice and Democracy in the Middle East (FFIPP-International).
Along with educating academics and others, the creation of the International Network and the urgent mobilization of academia worldwide are among the immediate objectives of the Brussels conference.
