The mission of the coalition is to maintain the legal status of Jerusalem, until a solution is reached where Jerusalem becomes the capital of the future Palestinian State.
The Coalition is currently actively involved in a number of lobbying and advocacy campaigns regarding Jerusalem.
All campaigns aim at:
- Exposing Israel’s illegal policies in Jerusalem, namely that of ethnically cleansing Jerusalem of its Palestinian population.

- Holding Israel accountable by imposing punitive measures in the form of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.
