The specification post is locked.
I will take your comments and integrate into the specifications post in order to keep it a coherent and focused document and a reference.
All vigils are public, all planning and documentations are public as well.
Dara
| Principle | Definition |
|---|---|
| Dignity | Each victim is named, recognised, and honoured. They are no longer a number. |
| Interfaith | Two religious authorities preside: one Muslim (European convert), one Christian (Palestinian) – to embody universality and break stereotypes. |
| Global Participation | The vigil is online, accessible worldwide, without geographical barriers. |
| Traceability & Evidence | Every presentation is recorded on Bloxberg (academic blockchain), with images, dates, and circumstances. |
| Sobriety | The vigil is centred on the victims – Qawl is the support, not the subject. |
| Interaction | A digital Book of Remembrance allows participants to leave testimonies, prayers, and tributes. |
| Role | Profile | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Muslim Authority | A European convert, recognised for spirituality and humanitarian commitment | Removes political bias; embodies a faith freely chosen, universal in scope. |
| Christian Authority | A Palestinian Christian, rooted in the land and memory of Palestine | Challenges the stereotype that “Palestine = Muslim”; shows the diversity of the Palestinian people. |
| Master of Ceremonies (optional) | Mahmoud or a Qawl representative | Introduces, frames, and closes the vigil with sobriety. |
| Step | Duration | Content |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Spiritual Opening | 5 min | Opening prayer, reading, or word of peace from one of the religious authorities. |
| 2. Presentation of Victims | 30–40 min | Each victim presented individually: name, date of birth (if known), place and circumstances of death, brief testimony (if available). An image or symbol is displayed on screen. |
| 3. Moment of Silence | 2 min | In memory of all victims – known and unknown. |
| 4. Book of Remembrance | 5 min | Invitation to leave a message, prayer, or tribute online. Messages can be public or private. |
| 5. Blockchain Certificate Presentation | 5 min | For one or two identified victims, the NFT or Bloxberg record is shown live on screen. |
| 6. Call for Witnesses | 3–5 min | Invitation to share information about still‑unidentified victims. |
| 7. Spiritual Closing | 3 min | Blessing or word of hope from the other religious authority. |

| Book of Righteousness update | Victims’ names are added to the registry (linked to honorary citizens, if applicable). |
| Issue | Measure |
|---|---|
| Family consent | Explicit consent required for identified victims (unless information is already public). |
| Witness protection | Sensitive testimonies may be anonymised or published only after verification. |
| Data protection | All data handled in accordance with GDPR. |
| Moderation | A moderator is present for live chat. |
| Secularism | The vigil is spiritual, not proselytising – prayers are presented as tributes, not calls to conversion. |
The Eternally Palestinian vigils are an act of living memory – spiritual, solemn, and legally sound. They are not communication events – they are ceremonies of justice.
This protocol is designed to be respectful, technically robust, and globally accessible.
Our Humanity. Your Qawl.
