Throughout 2025, ICSZ presents events, research, and discussion around the fiftieth anniversary of UN Resolution 3379.

The 1975 resolution declaring “zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination”, organized by African and Asian states, tied the demand for Palestinian liberation from Israeli colonization to the fight against apartheid in South Africa. The U.S.- and Israeli-led campaign against the resolution catalyzed decades of efforts by both governments to renarrate Zionism as not-racist and not-colonial — and to repress Third World thought and solidarity.

ICSZ spends this year considering the resonances of the ideas and tactics put forward by the resolution, including the demand to center liberation conversations in decolonizing spaces, how they’ve changed as Zionism and other systems of globalized power have unfolded. We engage with the ways that racism is both an essential framework for studying Zionism, and also incomplete.
