South Africa is hosting the fifth BRICS Summit at the Durban International Convention Centre (ICC) between the 26th and 27th of March 2013.
BRICS summits are convened to seek common ground on areas of importance for the major BRICS countries and their economies with the intention of creating and establishing an equitable, democratic and multipolar world order.
This 5th BRICS summit is being held and hosted in a country that was once at the receiving end of generous international support and solidarity – South Africa. Indeed, India was one of the first countries in 1964 to have imposed a complete trade embargo on Apartheid South Africa. All BRICS countries were part of either the 1964 and/or 1977 UN Security Council votes for an arms embargo on Apartheid South Africa. We thank these BRICS governments for their role played in our liberation through heeding and advancing our call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Apartheid during the 1980s.
As citizens and organizations of the BRICS countries, we now hereby call on BRICS to take decisive action on the Palestinian oppression under Israeli rule.
The time has come for progressive countries that seek a peaceful and just world to take decisive action in the interests of the oppressed Palestinians – taking such action would put BRICS on the side of the developing countries, on the side of the peoples of the world and on the right side of history.
We are calling on the 5th BRICS Summit to
Sever trade with Israel’s illegal settlements;
Initiate a comprehensive Israeli arms embargo; and,
Be on the right side of history!
