In 1977, the General Assembly called for the annual
observance of 29 November as the International Day of Solidarity with the
Palestinian People (resolution 32/40 B). On that day, in 1947, the
Assembly adopted the resolution on the partition of Palestine (resolution
181 (II))
In resolution
60/37 of 1 December 2005, the Assembly requested the Committee
on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the
Division for Palestinian Rights, as part of the observance of the International Day of Solidarity with
the Palestinian People on 29 November, to continue to organize an annual
exhibit on Palestinian rights or a cultural event in cooperation with the
Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the UN.
The resolution on the observance of the International Day of Solidarity
with the Palestinian People also encourages Member States to continue to give
the widest support and publicity to the observance of the Day of Solidarity.

Origins and
Evolution of the Palestine Problem
The question of
Palestine was brought before the United Nations shortly after the end of the
Second World War.
The origins of the
Palestine problem as an international issue, however, lie in events occurring
towards the end of the First World War. In 1947 the United Nations accepted the
responsibility of finding a just solution for the Palestine issue, and still
grapples with this task today.
The world is crying out for peace and comfort at this pandemic time.
