Main Demand
Investigate And Stop Cooperations With All Partnered Israeli Universities Complicit In International Law Violations
As students and employees of TU Berlin, backed by the Hertie Solidarity Collective, Jewish Solidarity Collective (Jewish students and staff across Berlin universities), Students for Palestine FU, Not In Our Name ASH, Not In Our Name UdK, Decolonize HU, Stand Up For Palestine Potsdam, BCB for Palestine (Bard College Berlin), Students from Charite, and The Student Coalition Berlin, we expect the university’s administration to uphold its commitment to respect international law and human rights, as well as fundamental rights. It is essential not only to maintain and respect these obligations but also to ensure they extend to the universities and institutions that TU Berlin partners with.
Following the example set by many universities across European universities and worldwide (Appendix part 7), we believe in the importance of scrutinising our academic collaborations to ensure they align with these principles. No university should be contributing to violations of international law. Therefore, these Universities have taken decisive steps to reassess their relationships with Israeli partners, guided by their commitment to human rights and international law. By conducting a meticulous review and halting collaborations where necessary, they have set a precedent for ethical academic conduct. We urge TU Berlin to adopt a similar approach, ensuring that our institution does not directly or indirectly support activities that violate international law and human rights. Therefore, we, as a student collective and employees at TU Berlin, are calling for a thorough investigation into our university’s partnerships with Israeli universities and institutions due to the ongoing violations of international law against the Palestinian people, during which the partnerships should be suspended. Our key points are as follows:
1. Case-by-case investigation
3. Take the international institutions and NGOs into account for the investigation
2. Suspend Ties During Investigations
