ALLMEP thanks UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for recognizing Unite the Field in report to UN Security Council

ALLMEP would like to thank UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres UNSG for acknowledging ALLMEP’s Jerusalem Conference “Unite the Field” — & the 400+ Palestinians & Israelis gathered to discuss how civil society peacebuilding can be a “tool for policy change”— in the #SCR2334 report to the UN Security Council. 

This work can and should be at the core of efforts to build the foundations, ideas and momentum that can deliver a genuine peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Within his report, Secretary General Guterres stated, “On 31 May, hundreds of Palestinian and Israeli civil society activists met in Jerusalem for one of the largest-ever conferences of organizations engaged in peacebuilding, organized by the Alliance for Middle East Peace. During the conference, which was attended by representatives of the United Nations and diplomats from some 30 countries, participants discussed, inter alia, ways to increase the impact of their work and how to use peacebuilding initiatives as a tool for policy change.”

The conference was mentioned under section V “Affirmative steps to reverse negative trends.” To review the entirety of the report, please visit: https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile?FinalSymbol=S%2F2022%2F504&Language=E&DeviceType=Desktop&LangRequested=False&fbclid=IwAR3Memo5cst64gbD-2C-oNR2gcKKy8VnotcxvZGBiVbDK2docCah1rTHq7U
