Washington (UNA-OIC) – At least 160 academics from 21 countries urged the European Union to exclude all Israeli academic institutions that are complicit in Israel’s grave violations of international law and Palestinian human rights from EU’s taxpayer-funded research programs.
The academics are past and current recipients of some of the most prestigious EU research funding programs, including the European Research Council and the Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowship, according to a press statement issued by The Palestinian-led Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
This marks the first international initiative of EU funding recipients calling on EU institutions to stop funding complicit Israeli academic institutions until they cease their well-documented and systematic complicity in Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights and international law.
