The Palestinian Center for Peace and Democracy (PCPD) is a non-profit,
non-governmental Palestinian institution that aims to mobilize
support for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the
Middle East, based on the implementation of UN resolutions 242
and 338 that recognize Palestinian people’s legitimate rights to
self determination and to establish their independent
Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and with 4
June 1967 boarders. As well as, the implementation of UN
Security Council’s resolution 194 concerning the Palestinian
refugees’ right to return. |
