Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Responding to the call by Palestinian trade unions and professional associations for meaningful actions in support of the rights of Palestinian workers and of the Palestinian people as a whole, the three largest trade union federations in Mauritius — Mauritius Labour Congress, Confederation des Travailleurs des Secteurs Publique et Prive\u0301 and Federation of Parastatal Bodies and Other Union — have called on their government to support all efforts at the UN to investigate and monitor the Israeli imposition of apartheid, and to support the reconstitution of the UN Special Committee against Apartheid as well as the UN Centre against Apartheid.<\/p>\n

Together, these federations represent tens of thousands of Mauritian workers from various sectors. The original letter and details of the federations are shared below: To:
\nThe Prime Minister of Mauritius, Hon. Pravind Jugnauth, Treasury Building, Port Louis. 15 June, 2023 Dear Sir,<\/p>\n

We write to you, as Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius, to request that your Government adds the support of the state of Mauritius to efforts at the United Nations to investigate the state of Israel\u2019s imposition of Apartheid.<\/p>\n

We, as union federations and confederations, are calling on you in response to a formal request made to us by Palestinian trade unions and professional associations.<\/p>\n

They have asked us to find and accomplish \u201cmeaningful actions\u201d in support of the rights of Palestinian workers and of the Palestinian people as a whole, and to end the system of occupation, colonization and apartheid that is being imposed by the Israeli state apparatus on them.<\/p>\n

This open letter is such an action, and we hope, by this means, to encourage the elected Mauritian government to give public support at the UN to all moves in favour of exposing the \u201cApartheid\u201d nature of the Israeli state.<\/p>\n

Israel continued colonization and military occupation of Palestinian land means the continued expulsion of Palestinian families, including children and the aged, from their homes.<\/p>\n

All this violence is perpetrated in order to give way for illegal Israeli settlements to be built, in turn, on this land. As you are aware, let us be precise, Israeli settlements are considered \u201cwar crimes\u201d under international law.<\/p>\n

Also, Israel\u2019s systematic destruction of the Palestinian economy, its discriminatory and racist laws being applied, and its restrictions on freedom of movement and association, are considered by international human rights organizations, as well as by numerous United Nations\u2019 experts, to be manifestations of \u201cApartheid\u201d.<\/p>\n

Apartheid. as you know, has also been declared, since 1966, to be a crime against humanity. The United Nations had qualified the year 2022 to have been the \u201cdeadliest year\u201d for Palestinians since the year 2006 \u2013 in terms of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n

This is due to the increased use of force by both the Israeli military and the more frequently recurrent physical attacks against Palestinians by Israeli settlers, both kinds of violence being perpetrated with impunity. The new extreme-right Israeli regime is actually openly encouraging the military\u2019s and the settlers\u2019 attacks in the occupied territories.<\/p>\n

Through this letter, we, as trade union federations, add our voice in the Republic of Mauritius to that of other unions all over the world to their respective governments, by calling on you, our elected government, to support all efforts at the UN to investigate the Israeli imposition of apartheid, and to go ahead with the reconstituting of the \u201cUN Special Committee against Apartheid\u201d and the \u201cUN Centre against Apartheid\u201d so as to monitor continued apartheid.<\/p>\n
