Sign UJPHL letters to U.S. Congressional Senators and Representatives from Utah

Current Letter

Excerpt:

“On 11/17/2025, the U.N. Security Council adopted Resolution 2803 sponsored by the U.S. authorizing an International Stabilization Force (“ISF”) for the Gaza Strip. The resolution annexed President Trump’s 20-point “peace plan.”

We urgently request the Utah congressional delegation to urge the Trump administration to follow international law in implementing the ISF.

Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories Occupied Since 1967, issued a concise statement on 11/19/2025 published by the Office of the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights on what the ISF could and should be doing in order to comply with international law:

“[The Palestinians in Gaza] need a protective international presence that ends
Israel’s unlawful occupation, stops the genocide and restores their capacity for
self-governance. Protection means lifting the blockade, ensuring unhindered
humanitarian access, supporting Palestinian-led governance, guaranteeing the
right of return and enforcing international law in full.”

That should be the mandate guiding the Board of Peace and the International Stabilization Force.”
