On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, which calls for the partition of Palestine into two states: One for the Jewish people and another for the Arab Palestinians. The resolution demands that Palestinians have the right to national independence and a sovereign state, yet 74 years later, they remain under military occupation. They continue to be forcibly displaced from their homes and lands and robbed of their right to self-determination.
