Motion · S5M-16384 · 14 Mar 2019
Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel
The motion
That the Parliament commends the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel on its work towards an end to the illegal military occupation of Palestine and a just peace in the region; congratulates the programme, which was established in 2002 by the World Council of Churches, and is administered in the UK and Ireland by Quakers in Britain on behalf of 16 faith-based organisations, on sending out accompaniers to act as human rights monitors in the region, whose presence, it believes, helps to deter human rights abuses and attacks on civilians; considers that the programme's work with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists helps to contribute to a just peace, and wishes it and its accompaniers well.
