On 15 May 2026, the UN Palestinian Rights Committee will convene an event marking the anniversary the Nakba to continue drawing attention to this tragic historical event and the enduring plight of the Palestinian people, as requested by the General Assembly (GA Res 79/82 of 3 December 2024, OP 6). The Committee special meeting will be held at the ECOSOC Council Chamber from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
