417th CEIRPP Meeting: election of Vice-Chair and Briefing by Paul Reichler

On, 26 June 2024, the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People convened a Committee Meeting in the Trusteeship Chamber at UNHQ in New York. At this meeting, the Committee elected the new Permanent Representative of Cuba, H.E. Mr. Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, as Vice Chair of the Committee. The meeting also heard a briefing by Mr. Paul S. Reichler, a globally recognized figure in public international law. Mr. Reichler represented the State of Palestine at the recent proceedings at the International Court of Justice on the case regarding the legal consequences arising from the policies and practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. He provided insights into the arguments and shared lessons relevant to how the General Assembly might implement the court’s opinion. Committee members, who emphasized the importance of the briefing, discussed alternatives for implementing the crucial but non-binding court decision, considering the prevailing unfavorable geopolitical context. The Chair called on Committee members to support the “Shared commitment for UNRWA,” with 53 sponsors ahead of the HQ pledging conference on 12 July.
