International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is a UN-organized observance. Events are held at the United Nations headquarters in New York, as well as at the United Nations offices at Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi. It is generally held on November 29 each year to mark the anniversary of resolution 181 which advocated for the partition of Palestine into two States: one Arab and one Jewish. In 2003, it was observed on December 1. The annual observance was established in UN General Assembly Resolution 32/40 B of 2 December  1977, to start in 1978. The same resolution proposed the creation of the study "The Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem". In Resolution 34/65 D of 12 December 1979, the issue of commemorative postage stamps was requested. Special commemorative activities are organized by the Division for Palestinian Rights of the United Nations Secretariat, in consultation with the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. In 2005, the UN event included a map that showed all of Israel replaced by Palestine and was attended by Secretary-General Kofi Annan and other senior UN officials. Marking  the day in 2021, Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres tweeted, "The situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory remains a challenge to int'l peace & security."
