A day-long event entitled "Ending the Occupation: The Path to Independence, Justice, and Peace for Palestine" was held on 29 June, followed by a civil society forum entitled "Ending the Occupation: Creating the Space for Human Rights, Development, and a Just Peace"on 30 June. The forum was organised in accordance with General Assembly resolutions 71/20 and 71/21 of 30 November 2016.
