National Students for Justice in Palestine
National Students for Justice in Palestine (National SJP) is a collective of organizers that supports over 200 Palestine solidarity organizations on college campuses across occupied Turtle Island (U.S. and Canada). We aim to develop a student movement that is connected, disciplined, and equipped with the tools necessary to build grassroots momentum for Palestinian liberation.

University of Vermont Students for Justice in Palestine
As members of a solidarity group, we defer to the Palestinian civil society’s requests regarding international support. We have endorsed the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and the rights it is aimed at achieving. In addition to calling for economic and state pressure on Israel, the BDS guidelines also define and clearly oppose normalization, and to that end, we as students, faculty, staff, and community members in solidarity with Palestinians refrain from participating in projects that normalize the occupation.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, November 1967 The resolution is the formula proposed by the Security Council for the resolution of the Arab–Israeli conflict, in particular, ending the state of belligerency then existing between the ‘States concerned’, Israel and Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. The resolution deals with five principles; withdrawal of Israeli forces, ‘peace within secure and recognized boundaries’, freedom of navigation, a just settlement of the refugee problem and security measures including demilitarized zones. It also provided for the appointment of a Special Representative to proceed to the Middle East in order to promote agreement on a peaceful and accepted settlement in accordance with the principles outlined in the resolution.
The UN General Assembly Resolution 194 (III), December 1948 resolving that “refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.”

Five-part series, “Israel Attacks the International Criminal Court, but Its Arguments Fall Flat.”Written by Vermonter James Marc Leas, in Truthout. This series of articles was written in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that three International Criminal Court provisions could preclude Israeli nationals from being investigated or prosecuted by the ICC. The five articles present the facts and the law regarding each of those provisions. They argue that a fair prosecutor should find that ICC provisions would not exclude ICC investigation and prosecution of Israeli nationals (political and military leaders) who allegedly committed war crimes in occupied Palestinian territories.The Israeli government campaign was explained by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in a statement he read out from his office on January 17, 2015. He argued that (1) Palestine is not a state; (2) the Israeli legal system upholds the highest standards of international law; and (3) Israel was acting in self-defense against terrorism.
