The event will reflect on the challenges faced by the Palestinian people in occupied East Jerusalem in terms of displacement\, dispossession and violence and will provide the platform to assess the wider oppression across the OPT and for the unresolved legacy of the Nakba. \nThe Conference will provide a space to update and coordinate on the implementation of GA resolution ES 10-24 among the Committee and OIC Member States. Taking place ahead of the High-Level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution\, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia\, the conference also offers a timely opportunity to provide a space for consolidated preparatory steps\, including to coordinate actions by the Committee and the OIC as well as to hear voices from West Africa and the continent\, in addressing the challenges in the context of East Jerusalem and the broader Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territory. Its key objective is for the Committee and OIC Member States to sustain the political momentum and identify practical avenues for coordinated action to end the occupation and achieve a peaceful solution of the conflict. \n  \nPlease register for the conference here.  \n  \nPROGRAMME \n8 a.m. Registration  \n9 – 10 a.m. OPENING SESSION  \n\nRepresentative of Senegal \nRepresentative of the UN\, SRSG/ UNOWAS Leonardo Santos Simão \n\n\nCEIRPP Chair\, H.E.
