Its mandated objective is to promote the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people; raise international awareness on the question of Palestine; mobilize international support for and assistance to the Palestinian people; and work towards a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine. The Committee strongly supports the objective of two States, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure and recognized borders.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
