Invoke UN Resolution 377A – Uniting for Peace – to Save Gaza


Invoke UN Resolution 377A – Uniting for Peace – to Save Gaza
The Issue
We call on the United Nations General Assembly to immediately invoke Resolution 377A (“Uniting for Peace”) to protect civilians in Gaza and guarantee humanitarian access.
The world is watching a humanitarian catastrophe unfold in Gaza. With over two million people under siege, enduring daily bombardments, starvation, and forced displacement, the international community has a legal and moral obligation to act.
The UN Security Council has repeatedly failed to take meaningful action, blocked by vetoes. But there is a solution within the UN system:
Resolution 377A, passed in 1950, allows the General Assembly to act when the Security Council is paralyzed. This mechanism has been used before — in Korea (1950), the Suez Crisis (1956), Palestine (1982), and Ukraine (2022).
We demand:
1. An Emergency Special Session of the UN General Assembly
2. Invocation of Resolution 377A
3. Humanitarian access, international protection, and coordinated diplomatic pressure
This is not about politics. It’s about lives. It’s about stopping mass suffering.
The mechanism exists. The time is now.
