- Europalestine
CAPJPO-Europalestine is a French non-governmental organization (
NGO ) dedicated to the ending of "the occupation of thePalestinian territories " in compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 242 passed after theSix-Day War in 1967. According to the organization, it was formed by the "Coordination des Appels pour une Paix Juste au Proche-Orient", created in February 2002 and signed in less than three months by more than 12,000 people.Europalestine sees its purpose in pressuring the
European Union and theFrench government in order to force Israel "to respect the resolutions ofUN ,Geneva Conventions , and the recent ruling by theInternational Court of Justice of the Hague" declaring the construction of theIsraeli West Bank barrier as illegal. Europalestine asserts that any "aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by such construction" of the barrier is illegal for all States recognizing the International Court of Justice, while parties to theFourth Geneva Convention have "in addition the obligation to ensure compliance by Israel with international humanitarian law".In 2002 Europalestine supported the decision voted by the
Université Pierre et Marie Curie and theUniversity of Lille to boycott the scientific cooperation agreement between the EU and Israel, on charges that Israel had not respected the article 2 of the agreement.See also
