USB National Confederation Council gathered in Tivoli (Rome) on 29 May 2016, on proposal of the International Department and in support of the call of the International Solidarity Conference with Palestine held in Ramallah, promoted by WTFU and GUPW, voted for the formal endorsement by USB of the international BDS campaign, Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel.
USB National Council, convinced that such a campaign could have a relevant impact at the international level by increasing the democratic pressure to stop crimes committed by the Israeli State against the Palestinian people, similarly to the success obtained by the BDS Campaign against the South African apartheid regime, invites all its offices and members to support the campaign starting with the boycott of the multinational Hewlett Packard, which provides the Israeli State with systems of control and oppression at checkpoints and in Israeli prisons.
Approved by unanimous vote
