The Open Letter makes seven calls to action:
- An immediate and permanent ceasefire and immediate and unconditional release of all hostages;
- Israel’s compliance with the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice;
- An end to Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and its occupation, so that the educational sector can be rebuilt;
- Full access of United Nations agencies to the Occupied Palestinian Territories to carry out independent monitoring, investigation, and humanitarian coordination;
- All States that have suspended funding to UNRWA – the UN agency which runs many of the Strip’s now closed elementary and secondary schools – to immediately resume funding;
- North American universities, governments, NGOs and individual academics to support the reconstruction of educational institutions in Gaza, through financial and in-kind contributions; and
- State and individual accountability under domestic and international law mechanisms.
