This day provides an opportunity for the international community to focus its attention on the fact that the question of Palestine remains unresolved.
A special bulletin containing the texts of the statements delivered and messages received on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity is published annually by the Division for Palestinian Rights of the United Nations Secretariat.
