On January 30, 2025, the World History Association Officers and Council considered and affirmed a Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide in Gaza (full text below).  The resolution responds to the dire situation facing the teaching, learning, and documentation of history in Gaza; the veto of a similar resolution by the American Historical Association Council in January 2025, and the mission of the World History Association to promote activities which will increase historical awareness, understanding among and between peoples and global consciousness. Strictly following WHA procedure, we now submit the resolution to a vote of the entire membership of the Association. If approved by a majority of the members voting, the resolution is affirmed as a measure of the WHA. Current members of the WHA received an email with login instructions to participate in the vote via ElectionRunner, the same secure election software that we use for our annual officer elections. The election will be open from February 18 - 25, 2025.

American Historical Association convention-goers overwhelmingly passed the statement on Jan. 5, but the group’s top elected body has vetoed it without letting all AHA members vote.
