MISSION STATEMENT
The Global Legal Alliance for Palestine [“The Alliance”] is a global coalition of practicing and dedicated attorneys, legal organizations, legal initiatives, legal workers, and human rights experts working to advance the Palestinian demand for self-determination; the popular Palestinian democratic will for freedom, justice, reparations, and return; and the Palestinian right to preempt, resist, and defend against settler-colonization, war crimes, apartheid, and crimes against humanity. The Alliance understands that the coordination of our efforts is essential to creating powerful and lasting systemic change for Palestine and affirms its commitment to said coordination. The Alliance shall leverage and coordinate our legal expertise, and engage in advocacy efforts, in service of the protection of Palestinians and their rights. We will focus our efforts on countering, preempting, and exacting accountability for perpetrators of war crimes, and other crimes, against Palestinians in international and domestics forums while advocating for Palestinian rights and prioritizing Palestinian self-determination.
Our immediate, short-term, goal is to hold “israel” and other governments and individuals accountable for their role in the gross violations against the sanctity of life, land and property of the Palestinian people.
Our long-term goal is to create systemic change for Palestine in the international, and transnational, legal domain. We will collaborate with multi-disciplinary experts, civil society, human rights organizations, and investigators to utilize our collective knowledge and resources in pursuing legal and diplomatic avenues.
The Alliance will evaluate our progress by keeping track of the nature and number of legal, legislative, and diplomatic actions initiated, ensuring follow-up through prosecution and completion of said actions, and analyzing the impact we have in creating change by way of these actions through a permanent coordination and monitoring mechanism.
The Alliance reaffirms its commitment to working tirelessly towards protecting the rights, properties, and dignity of Palestinians while striving for lasting peace and justice, in Palestine and the region.
