Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People

In 1975, by its resolution 3376 the General Assembly established the Committee, and requested it to recommend a program of implementation to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights to self-determination without external interference, national independence and sovereignty, and to return to their homes and property.
The Assembly has gradually expanded the Committee’s mandate and established the Division for Palestinian Rights as its secretariat. The Committee promotes international support for and assistance to the Palestinian people. Its mandat approved by the Assembly is to generate international awareness of the question of Palestine. In addition to international meetings and conferences, publications and other informational activities, the Committee each year holds a special meeting in observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (29 November). The Committee, chaired by Senegal, has 23 members and 25 observers.
