IGU-UGI: Statement on Geography, Human Rights and Palestine

IGU Executive Committee Statement on Geography, Human Rights and Palestine

The International Geographical Union (IGU) affirms the important role of geographers in advancing peace and
shared prosperity among all peoples and nations. This commitment is rooted in respect for human dignity and
equality, regardless of religion, race, language, gender, or cultural background. The IGU Executive Committee, in
upholding these IGU values, understands that oppression can be both recognised and unrecognised. It is our
collective belief that mutual understanding within and across borders is vital for a stable and just world.
