compound and shake in his loose at him. when this did not a cure, hamas and other arm groups launch a heavy rocket beverage towards the swell. this and failed to distinguish between military and civilian objects. and their use thereby, constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law. over the 11 days, up to the fire and number of these rockets killed an engine civilians and coughing, michigan, damage to city and objects such as public facilities, houses, factories and other civilian structures is will respond with intense air strikes in gas, anchoring shelling me so fire from fighter aircraft, an attack from the see. although rebuttals, the target,

the members of our groups and the military's infrastructure. israeli attacks result of inexpensive civilian best injuries, as well as large scale destruction and damage to civilian objects. this include governmental buildings, residential homes, and apartment buildings, international humanitarian organizations, medical facilities, media offices, and roads connecting essential services such as hospitals. there was sold was there partial or total destruction. this by israel claims that many of these buildings were hosting arm groups or being used for military purposes. we have not seen evidence in this regard. although as well on the took a number of precautions such as advanced warning of attacks in some cases. and strikes in such densely populated areas resulted in a high level of civilian fatalities and injuries, as well as the widespread destruction of civilian. these are structure such dikes.

re serious concerns of as well as compliance with distinction and proportionality under international humanitarian law is found to be in this community and this proportion and the impact on billions as civilian objects. such up facts may constitute war crimes. on the other hand, it is also violation of international humanitarian law to locate military assets in densely populated civilian areas or to launch attacks from them. however, the actions of one party do not of sold the other from its obligations and the international law alike is rarely c b and will have the benefit of the iron dome and professional military forces to assist in their protection. sally spin civilians habitually no protection against s, like a military operations carried out in one of the most densely populated areas of the

world. they have no place to escape to do to the israeli land air and sea broke cape that has been in place for the last 14 years. actually salt of this brocade palestinians in gus i have suffered from a crumbling infrastructure and this managed access to basic services including inadequate health services and a decaying swish system that poses a direct threat to the health and well being of all civilian rest. hasn't there been capacity of the health system to comprehensively respond to cover 19? and the recent search in case has made this deterioration particularly evidence to obtain appropriate health care. many palestinians are forced to travel abroad, subject to permission by israel, which is frequently denied. there is no doubt that these will has the right to offend it. however, palestinians have rights to the same types. they to have the right leave safely and

freely in the homes with adequate and essential services an opportunity piece. with respect for life and physical integrity. they leave the patient, however, is there instep, systematically deprived of fundamental rights and freedoms due to every being might impress then in another neighborhood, the loose l. m. the risk of evictions remains and continues to fool tensions fact to be should thief in line with israel's obligations and the international law to israeli. a 40 to image of the whole the process of evictions. while the shocking loss of life and destruction in gaza has justifiably made headlines around the world. the alarming situation in the westbank has gone and not this for many tensions protest and violence gloom. the heavy use of force by the i s f. as we 2

levels not seen in years, on 14 may alone the i s f killed 10 palestinians in the context of conversations and clashes, the highest number in one day in the was spunk, bank, send the united nation stuff is systematically collecting this figures in 2008. i'm also streamline, troubled by the document that incident the settlers using live ammunition to attack a palestinians in some oh, we're really having technical problems today out of the you and human rights council . i think we've got another fade we can go see though, as we 2 levels not seen in years. on 14 may alone b, i s f, q 10 palestinians in the context of conversations and clashes the highest number in one day in the west bunks bank. so the united nation start the systematically

collecting the figures in 2008. i'm also streaming troubled by the document, the incident, the settlers using live, i mean nation to attack about a senior in some cases along 5 israeli security forces. madam president, the 3rd aspect of last week, serious human rights violations, is a situation inside the as well where they were, i'm president the scene of class you just not going so well. in fact, we couldn't even see michelle bash lay it was any her voice that we were hearing much more the tax on individuals in them exceed these all budget. yeah. far as well as the tax on the basis of worship and cultural heritage instigated by both sides especially concerned about over report that israeli police failed to intervene to adequately protect policy. citizens of israel

against such attacks, while often using excessive force to controlled ballasting and demonstrators. while a welcome to sci fi of 21, may, it is clear that unless the hood caused by an address, it will certainly be a matter of time until the next round of violence. comments with further pain and suffering for civilians on all sides. there must be a genuine and engrossing process to address this rude courses and bring the corporation to an end in any such processes and for any resulting agreements. the respect and protection of human rights must be fundamental, including accountability for the past few read violations of you all you when human rights a full respect to protect the contrast, start to the bill between the various communities on a durable last thing i just these be achieved in the meantime, i rate my call on how mos, on all our rules, to refrain from use of indiscriminate rockets and more towards for which there must

be accountability. and once again, urge is well to ensure accountability in accordance with its obligations under international un italian, human rebel, that includes conducting impartial, independent investigations, into actions, taking care of this escalation as the occupying power on the international law. israel is albany jaded to protect the relation of the west is general selim and gaza, and to ensure that welfare pena's right to life, to security and to free the assembly, unexpressed must be respected. lastly, this, an injury of children in this escalation is a service or shame for all this record cycles of calling for the weekend little side of the suffering and loss, nor than of any civilian, no matter how long the rolls have been. never and they should not be unacceptable

term or why 2021 is supposed to be a year of recovery and of all it sounds to recover better in the particularly rebuilding east of course urgent people need a home, a school functioning hospital stable electricity, cream water sanitation, often the mental to the full enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights, which have also been so dramatically infringed in the recent conflict. rec, contrasting lives also requires reconstructing sustainable livelihood. people centered reconstruction of gaza, which the labors on the human rights of citizens is an essential building block for durable peace and a sustainable future. i sincerely hope that this will be the last time we will need such a special session. thank you, my impressive i thank you. high commissioner and apologies again to you and the delegation for the technical problems we encountered. i now got the flow to mr.

michael link, special rapids here on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory occupied since $967.00 speaking also on behalf of the coordination committee of special procedures. mister link, you have the floor on soon. thank you very much. i have the honor to address your expertise today on behalf of my mandate and on behalf of the coordination committee of special procedures in light of the subject matter of the session today, the committee has asked me to deliver our joint statement excellency's events to the past month and gather history on the west bank and also across israel or climate is repetition. we've all previously witnessed in 2018, 20142012200892987 . and further and deeper into the tragic history of palestine,

hands this compassion for humanity in which i spoke of his people as victims other victims. he wondered whether the names would always be faded to suffer from an orphan status with the universal rights to which they are inherently entitled to enjoy, always being withheld. with all these for the gold post to reach things we witness to gather in these past few weeks, hans, the conscience of the world. approximate 242000 hands killed, missouri, of whom are civilians, and late 63 of whom are children. almost 2000 are injured. there's been massive property, destruction, all of us at the hands of one of the best militaries in the modern world. rockets from palest in israel. many civilians have lived there and suffered damage to their properties.

along the way, the strict prohibitions of international managerial law which bind all of these bonds, have almost certainly been breached. among the dead and gaza was dr. i'm out of the head of internal medicine, ship a hospital and the largest medical center. he was killed last week, but it was really military strike was apartment building along 12 members of his extended family, including his parents, his wife and a 17 year old son. and 13 year old daughter was also in charge of the hospitals response to the cold at $900.00 ben demik because ravaged because during the past several months, the valiant but badly under equipped healthcare stub. but he's left behind a voluntary and double the reverence to fight the damage in his memory. yes, a tiny sliver of land. all the more than 2000000 people under occupation caused by

the outside world by a comprehensive land sea, an air blockade. these palestinians are living in a dire situation of the united nations as cold on sustainable, on livable and a foreign like a punishment. they like jobs, electricity, clean water, affordable housing, functioning in economy and peaceably stone, hospitals, and without hope or freedom to experience the wider world. gather the world's largest open air prison. with the article determine who and what center is. there is no other comparable situation in the modern world where an empower as enclosed in pend off an entire community of people when intensive violence bringing business the city of gaza. as often does,

there is no escape. this many evil restriction on basic freedoms has gone on for 14 years and counting the heroine st. remodeling excellencies. but we witnessed occupied east jerusalem this past few weeks with intense confrontations over the exercise of religious rights on the marseilles. and with a sustained campaign by re seller organizations to continue to evict palestinian families from their homes and salon shot on the amber that ignited the latest violence of his amber has been smouldering for many years. israeli government and the municipality of jerusalem have been demographically engineering. the creation of israeli settlements throw down exceeds jerusalem since 1967. in order to ensure that its facts on the grounds establish

a permanent and illegal claim of sovereignty. united nations or rather repeatedly, over the years. but israel comply with international legal obligations and remove the settlements stop the addictions and the lawful antics ation and hold the demolitions of forestry mobile palestinians or their homes in eastern defiance for the occupying hour has been the answers. i fancies in the west bank to please past few weeks and the large scale demonstrations quite by palestinians to protest the courage. and the card gonna write civil service at least 27 calls, 7 bills since may be forces and thousands have been injured to 2007 1000000 palestinians on the west bank live in 167 fragmatic

islands of land separated from the world and each other was running checkpoints, walls settlements, and said, our only roads are collect a future has been devoured before their eyes by the $240.00 river settlements expanding on their lands. allison excellencies, this is not a city and state in the making. this is an occupation become distinguishable motivation. the rpm union has called the subjugation one state reality on equal rights. respected human rights organizations are not calling this excellencies. last week, i joined a number of other special relevant doors and calling for the violence in the past weeks in palestine to be investigated by the international criminal court. i repeat the call today. i fancies over the past dozen years, the m rise council is commission 4 major independent reports on the human rights

situation unoccupied, palestine all initiated in the shadow of yet another round of extreme violence with casualties overwhelmingly sitting inside. because on each of these 4 boards relations of human rights and monetary laws by israel, along with the prevailing culture of kennedy time allows me to say only one of these reports reported by an age and 2009, sometimes known as a gold storm reward. stated the justice in respect for the rule of law or the indispensable basis for peace, the prolong situation of impunity has created just as crisis in the occupied, palestinian territory warns action on quote,

called years later. these words thing because they describe so to me today that which has been allowed to continue the fester unchallenged and unchanged. all for the rest of these reports have asked. whereas accountability, i ask, do we not have enough evidence enough reports to conclude that israel will not and its occupation without decisive international action, grounded in the framework of rights. excellencies. now that the last missiles and rockets are the buyer, and the tears from the last year olds are slowly drawing. accountability must rise to the top of the international agenda of this council. we must insist on a brand new diplomatic playbook. and these really occupation, one that is centered on rights rather than real quality. various piece initiatives of the past 3 decades. 1993 oslo declaration of principles to the 2020

plan for peace peace prosperity plan or entirely on side of the framework of international law. human rights. this is allowed israel to make the core issues of self determination, annexation and silence gospel issues rather than issues of profound legality from which israel must be dismissed. this is enabled israel to negotiate from a strength of its many illegal facts on the ground rather than from the framework of fundamental rights and legal duties. and this is the overriding reason why so many of these piece cross initiatives failed. the civil reality is of the occupation has become as entrenched and sustainable as it has because the international community has never imposed meaningful costs on israel for acting as

an inquisitive and defiant, occupying power, the corrosion accordingly. i urge that the human rights councils of future work on the israeli occupation must be guided by these 3 principles. one, the diplomatic framework for fully ending the occupation is to be found within the framework of international law and human rights. not in real politics. to israel has become a bad faith occupier and it is radical thinking to believe that its occupation will not end unless until meaningful accountability measures have been imposed. and 3, because of the vastly de symmetrical differences in power between israel and the palestinians . active international intervention is indispensable and conclusions.

we are not to meet again yet. another special session to be here for 3 years from now. elementary, you get another round, little calling violence in palestine. scraps must be taken now fully and the occupation. accountability is that she can alone unlock, retain him cage. that is the occupation on behalf of the coordination committee that myself. i wish you every success in your indispensable work. i thank you for your statement. i now get the floor to mister psalm, eunice, director for miss on center for human rights in gaza and the head of the independent commission for human rights of palestine. mr. eunice, you have the floor on video. listen to the good morning. i'm a sudden goodness today's i'm speaking to you with mike. the question general, if you didn't dive in a commercial foam, right, i've also the very beginning of the got to be the center for human rights. most of

the feed in boy and raise in drop. and now live in the city with my family, we ought to gather for a special session of the call. because as a member states, you have a choice to have a choice to make because of what braces have long standing in israel and palestine have a choice for me because of the systematic impunity. government grad, you have a choice because it's also over by the senior in the got the team with its vos, military pause and technology support of leading countries decided to use this for, to deliberately attack civilians that can, can indefensible within the fact that he owe the home between the 2, 1st for making gover is a military, 253, but as seen as including 66 children, many of them and their host while they slipped without warning subject is that the

role of me because it was in 2014 off of that one line was my father, my mother and my 4 year old, nice split of their bits is really, really table bonded their neighborhood and kill them. and there's the order for 11 days for 1000000 in holy and living on kitchen force. because those seem like the safest places but know where the savings is, a military destroy 1800 homes. and there is a pause of $14000.00 more wouldn't many families. and i received a warning to the last week. we would love to have their home to ship on the nearly $60000.00 people were made homeless, many are living in the ged and positions in big centers is a law for the closure for political punishment was potent hyphen is facing,

embed also ship economy development that rides for 2000000 people, this me the story and 23 hospitals and because all shilling, unfortunately, the only so it found was made in okay, of the story teller that house interview and the a p was brought to the ground, which meant that getting the information out was made more difficult. is there any cost to use it for to is kelly on all front 1st. it's continuing to quickly clear and live and then across the city with excessive force method bitterly at risk and sanction violence. right now these are again, this can anything with an arrest campaign interest and open a senior citizen in the design. but these recent events are only the problem is

that for 70 years, senior people have endured systematic, shallow and longest standard policies and practices that aim to impose and maintain the review of racial donation and oppression over the seniors on both sides of the deal on if you read recent reports, submission and regional organization. you know that this apology and encompasses not just for the seniors in the open team, but also those of us in israel and those of as if it is. and it's brought forth inequality to sanction, supported by states in this constant. what should uphold our collective values, fitness justice, security quality. in applying the rule of law, the senior people should not be an exception. and for today, you have a choice either to ward in favor of the ocean before you to move us forward under

some sort of international law or for the hold your support and choose your graphical and economic interest. please listen for the speakers today and particularly the people impacted on the ground with an e to international law and the principles of this concert. thank you. i thank you for your statement. i now get the floor to mister mohammed baraka, former member of the connecticut and chairman of the arab hire committee in israel . mister bar. okay, you have the floor by video closely, and we thank you very much madam president. the latest gentleman fornia i spoke to you today on behalf of the phone company,

compensation of rights arrests, the imposition of emergency laws, the restriction, all the trouble, paternity and places of work is that we have many forms of discrimination and racism that have been processed by israel boss and 2018 publicly in the month of july. something. something important happened. something quite serious happens when the approved to the nation who law or the nation law was stipulated the learned dentist say historical. palestine is the historical jews on the right to self determination exclusively for kills. i would like to say that this was a constitutional law defines the state and what is important, if not only the very great article of this world,

but the reason that had taken place within the constitutional committee, within the excessive some of the members suggested the introduction of the principle of democracy, but that was refused. they introduced the principle also equality, but that also was refused. while that was because of the instructions given by mister the head of government at the time. and that was the most you know, without severe at $900.00 g m. j. continuing live coverage of a special session of the un human rights council on the situation in the occupied palestine. territory garza, we like all people have seen the soldiers storming from off launching gas bombs to worship while they were surrounded in the.
