Overview
The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) is an Australian non-profit advocacy organization established in 2011 that works to promote Palestinian human rights, justice, equality, and self-determination through public policy advocacy, community engagement, and public education. It is a national network comprising grassroots organizations, trade unions, aid and development organizations, faith-based groups, and individual members across Australia. APAN advocates for Australian government policies that align with international law, United Nations resolutions, and international humanitarian law regarding Palestine.
