The Baghdad Declaration reaffirmed the centrality of the Palestinian cause as the core issue of the Arab nation and the backbone of regional stability.

The leaders renewed their absolute support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the right to freedom, self-determination, the establishment of an independent sovereign state, and the right of return and compensation for refugees and displaced Palestinians.
