090925 Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Palestinian Visa Ban
The State Department just denied the people of Palestine fair representation at the United Nations. It’s a reckless attack on global peace and diplomacy.
By denying visas to Palestinian delegation members, Trump’s administration is preventing Palestinian participation in critical UN meetings and undermining fundamental diplomatic principles. This discriminatory policy threatens the integrity of international dialogue and America's role as UN host nation.
Legal and diplomatic experts warn this sets a dangerous precedent that could compromise the UN's effectiveness and America's obligations as host country. Diplomats have even proposed moving UN meetings to Geneva.
Multiple delegation members, prepared to engage in constitutionally protected diplomatic activities, have already been denied entry without adequate justification. By selectively restricting diplomatic access, the Trump administration has undermined the multilateral system that promotes peaceful resolution of conflicts.
In solidarity,
