Palestinian campaigners yesterday welcomed the passing of a motion by the Royal Institute of British Architects council calling for the suspension of Israeli architects over illegal settlement building.
The motion asked the International Union of Architects (UIA), as the international guardian of professional and ethical standards in architecture, to suspend the Israeli Association of United Architects (IAUA).
It stated that IAUA must be suspended until it acted to resist projects on illegally-occupied land and observed international law and accords.
