PENERAPAN KONSEP BDS OLEH CANADIAN BDS COALITION DALAM ADVOKASI KEMERDEKAAN PALESTINA DI KANADA

Abstrak

This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) concept as a Non-Violent Resistance strategy in supporting advocacy for Palestinian independence, specifically through the Canadian BDS Coalition in Canada. BDS is a transnational social movement that seeks to exert economic, social, and political pressure on parties deemed involved in human rights violations in Palestine. This study uses an explanatory method with a qualitative approach to explain how the three main pillars of BDS—Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions—are implemented in the Canadian context. The results show that the Canadian BDS Coalition plays a crucial role in coordinating various civil society factors and implementing a multi-layered pressure strategy. However, the movement's effectiveness still faces structural challenges, such as the complexity of global economic networks and domestic political resistance. Thus, BDS has proven effective in building awareness and long-term pressure, although its impact on policy change has been gradual.
