Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel

The motion

That the Parliament notes the work of the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), which brings visitors to the West Bank to experience life under occupation; understands that Ecumenical Accompaniers provide a protective presence to vulnerable communities, monitor and report human rights abuses and support Palestinians and Israelis working together for peace; further understands that, when they return home, Ecumenical Accompaniers campaign for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict through an end to the occupation, respect for international law and implementation of UN resolutions; believes that the mission of the EAPPI is to accompany Palestinians and Israelis in their non-violent actions and to carry out concerted advocacy efforts to end the occupation; understands that its approach is based on the belief that the occupation is harmful not only to Palestinians but also to Israelis; welcomes the EAPPI's programme, which it considers demonstrates its solidarity with people on both sides of this conflict who strive non-violently to end the occupation and achieve a just peace, and commends the Glasgow resident, Geraldine O’Neill, who is taking part in the project from 10 November 2012 for three months.
