The Arab Interparliamentary Union (AIPU) held its 37th Emergency Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, on 14 October 2024, upon the invitation of its President, H.E. Mr. Brahim Boughali. The Final Communiqué condemned the Zionist aggression on Palestine and Lebanon, and demanded an immediate ceasefire and lifting the siege on Gaza, in addition to opening the crossings and providing humanitarian aid.

The communiqué reaffirmed support for the Palestinian people's sovereignty and the establishment of an independent State of Palestine, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, and called for it to be internationally recognised.

The communiqué also called for Lebanon's sovereignty to be respected and relevant international resolutions to be implemented. It also underlined the need to implement the resolutions of the UN Security Council regarding the cessation of aggression and withdrawal from the occupied territories.
