Declaration of companies and factories recovered to the boycott, divestment and sanctions on Israel
The call of Palestinian civil society for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS), published in 2005, is building a powerful global movement of solidarity through thousands of different campaigns and initiatives BDS.
This global movement that demands respect for international law and human rights by Israel has already demonstrated its strength in the struggle against the Israeli policies of occupation, colonialism and apartheid. Rooted in the consciousness and initiative of the masses and with the support of unions, parties, movements and civil society organizations and personalities, the so-called BDS, successfully pressing companies and governments to stop its complicity with Israel.
states that the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions must be imposed and maintained until Israel:
"fulfill its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law by:
1. The end of occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall.
2. The recognition of the fundamental rights of Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality.
3. Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in resolution 194. "
Workers Solidarity and their movements has supported numerous struggles with vital help and support has enabled workers to strengthen against the oppression and exploitation.
South Africa's struggle serves as a model for this class internationalism. Over a period of almost 20 years, workers and their movements were the vanguard of the global support of the South African struggle against apartheid. In supporting the boycott and BDS campaigns, the movement of workers has put pressure on governments to impose sanctions on companies to withdraw their investments.
Today, Palestine is a challenge for humanity. The siege of Gaza continues, remains "the world's largest prison open, with a bankrupt economy. Israel is stepping up its program of building of colonial settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and continues to build the apartheid wall that prohibits workers from reaching their jobs. Racial discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel is becoming more visible and oppressive, while the fourth generation of Palestinian refugees is no fundamental right to return to their homes denied by Israel.
Argentina
As workers know very well what it means to live and struggle against repression, disappearances and other forms of state terrorism, and the ongoing struggle for democratic rights and against persecution and criminalization of protest, convinced that international solidarity in the struggle is the most powerful tool for workers and oppressed peoples of the world.
Therefore, it is necessary to break the silence and international complicity driving this campaign from each of our places of everyday speech, work and study. And in this regard, we have decided to ensure that our workplaces, our businesses and factories, have no collusion with Israeli crimes and will be open spaces of Israeli apartheid.
We resolved:
1. Sure we do not have contracts and business between our companies recovered and Israeli companies, the State of Israel or companies that support the State of Israel, as this is direct financial support to the occupation and supports the war economy and Israeli apartheid.
2. Generate greater awareness of the Palestinian struggle and the occupation, Israeli apartheid and colonialism among workers of enterprises and factories in Argentina and abroad.
3. Participate in and support global initiatives and national BDS. 4. Require the State Argentino breaking relations with the State of Israel until it ends apartheid and achieve the freedom of the Palestinian people.
