The report highlights Israel’s withdrawal of settlers and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from Gaza, but deplores the ongoing assertion of control of the area through repeated military strikes and the control by Israel of the borders and airspace. It deplores the construction of the Wall in defiance of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and deplores the lack of progress in compensation for those who suffered damage as a result of its construction. The report further criticises the expansion of settlements. With regards to East Jerusalem, the report highlights the effect the Wall is having in leading to a transfer of Arabs from East Jerusalem to the West Bank. Finally, the report highlights a general approach of intimidation and humiliation towards Palestinians in the Occupied Territories through military presence, checkpoints, and freedom of movement in general. The report singles out the Jordan Valley as a case where policies are aimed at driving the Palestinians out of the area. In conclusion, the report states that the current peace process, the road map, is significantly behind schedule, and recommends the parties concerned to adopt a more human rights based approach.
In his presentation, the Special Rapporteur emphasised that he would only talk about the human rights violations of ordinary non-militant and non-activist civilians. He gave a broad picture of the situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. He stated that the situation had steadily deteriorated since the beginning of his mandate in 2001. Regarding Gaza, he explained that, despite the withdrawal of the Israeli military and settlers, the territory remained under military control of the Israel. He deplored the attacks on the civilian infrastructure, notably the destruction of the Gaza power plant, which has and will continue to affect all civilians in the area. Furthermore, he pointed to the use of sonic booms, which is terrorising the population. With regards to the closer of border, he deplored the effect that has had in reducing food and the availability of drugs in hospitals. Responding to Israel's statements that civilian suffering was “collateral damage”, he stated his opinion that these were in fact “indiscriminate killings”, prohibited under international law. Finally, he characterised the situation in Gaza as a form of collective punishment, and a clear violation of Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
On the West Bank, the Rapporteur focused his attention on the construction of the Wall. He pointed out the fact that Israel no longer considers the Wall a measure to provide security, but it instead a political tool aimed at establishing the future borders of Israel. He brought attention to the fact that the wall had resulted in a situation of internal displacement. His report was also considerably critical of the international community. He found that the termination of funding of the Palestinian Authority was largely responsible for the humanitarian crisis, and urged the international community to interact with the Hamas government. He expressed concern that the Palestinian people were the first occupied people to be imposed economic sanctions. Finally, the whole presentation highlighted a general approach of intimidation and humiliation towards Palestinians in the Occupied Territories through military presence, humiliating checkpoints, and restrictions on the freedom of movement.

Interactive Dialogue

&Mac183; Israel responded by first stating that it did not recognise the value a report that considered only one side of a problem. It presented the report as an oversimplification of the situation, filled with omissions and distortions of facts. Israel thought there was an alarming disconnect between the report and the events on the ground. It pointed out to the threat posed on Israel by Palestinian terrorists and criticised the report for not giving any recommendations on how to combat these. Finally, he mentioned that Hamas had not accepted the existence of Israel and the conditions of the Quartet for the advancement of the Peace Process known as the Road Map.
&Mac183; The Ambassador of Palestine took the floor to express his appreciation for the report. He pointed out to the ongoing deterioration of the situation in the territories by presenting the Council with numerous ongoing violations. He criticised the Wall’s effect in separating Palestinian populations, deplored Israel’s reoccupation of the Gaza Strip. Finally, he called on the international community to do more to ensure that Israel respects international law. He pointed out the example of a railway being built on occupied Palestinian land with the help of European companies. This is in direct violation of international law, and he called on the international community to address such issues. In conclusion, he said that an end to the Israeli occupation would also lead to an end of such complaints.

&Mac183; The Rapporteur responded to the Israeli Ambassador’s statement by saying that his report was concerned only with human rights violations, and that he simply reported those. He expressed dismay that there were so many violations coming from the Israeli authorities. He also commented on the fact that, even though Israel may be justified in responding to terrorist attacks, its responses had been completely disproportionate.
&Mac183; The vast majority of states thank the Rapporteur for his report.
&Mac183; Several delegations pointed out to the need for the parties to respect international law. Tunisia specifically stated that that people under occupation must be treated humanely and protected from violence, in accordance with the 4th Geneva Convention. Malaysia expressed dismay at Israel’s apparent impunity in front of these violations. Algeria pointed out the double standards that allowed Israel to continue unabated.
&Mac183; Many delegations further described the ongoing violations committed by Israel through the displacement of Palestinians by the Wall and military offences/presence in Gaza and the West Bank. The vast majority of those countries also called for the occupation to end immediately.
&Mac183; A number of delegations also expressed support for a two-State solution, including and independent Palestinian State.
&Mac183; Pakistan made a comment about the Rapporteurs statement that the Quartet had become a party to sanctions on the Palestinian people, and called on the issue to be studied further. Many delegations, however, stressed the importance of the international community in pressuring Israel to respect International Law. The USA expressed it support for the Quartet and the road map as the only Peace Process endorsed by both parties.
&Mac183; Malaysia and Indonesia stressed the urgency of the situation, and urged the Council to act on the situation from a human rights approach, in an attempt to avoid politicisation.
&Mac183; Algeria warned that the Commission on Human Rights had been stagnant on the issue, and urged the Council to act effectively and non-politically.
&Mac183; Finland asked for more information on the updated situation, the economic situation in Palestine, the role of local Palestinian NGOs, and the situation of the 300 hundred children in Israeli prisons. With regards to NGOs, the Rapporteur suggested they continue to monitor the situation and advocate issues of human rights. While he did not have a chance to investigate the situation of children in prisons, he trusted the Israeli judicial system to set up a commission of inquiry into the situation.
&Mac183; The vast majority of delegations expressed their support for a resumption of dialogue between the parties. The USA, however, made clear that in order for a constructive dialogue to take place, Israel must settlements, and the Palestinians must renounce violence.
&Mac183; Brazil expressed the opinion that the use of violence to achieve goals is not acceptable.
&Mac183; In conclusion, the Rapporteur suggested a rewording of terminology for both sides, in the form of the elimination of the word “terrorist” in describing each other. He saw this as a first step towards dialogue, which he stressed must include all parties, even Hamas.


Notes on the Parallel Meeting

Dugard

Will talk about the Wall.

The Israeli government has abandoned the position that the wall is to protect from suicide bombers.

Wall will include 76% of the settler population and will become the new boundary of Israel.

The International Court of Justice decided that the Wall was illegal. The Israeli supreme court said that this was not taking into account the security considerations.

Wall will incorporate about 10% of Palestinian territories, but this is the richest agricultural land.

Man on internal displacement

Notes on the NGO interaction with the Rapporteur

Dugard

Situation has not improved in the past year. It has deteriorated substantially.

Recalled the withdrawal of settlers and armed forces from Gaza.

Was argued by international lawyers that Israel remained in military control of Gaza.

Israeli military has physically re-occupied Gaza and have done so in a particularly harsh manner. Has reasserted its presence in response to rocket attacks from Gaza.

Bombing has resulted in the destruction of the Gaza power plant.

Hospitals have been affected because of lack of drugs and electricity.

There are significant food shortages.

Fishing is prohibited by the Israeli navy.

So, in effect, Gaza is imprisoned by Israel.

About the West Bank

Wall continues to be constructed. No longer justified only as a security measure, but rather a political measure.

76% of settlers are taken in by the Wall.

Clear purpose of the Israelis is to cleanse the are of Palestinians and they are doing this through intimidation.

500 Checkpoints which obstruct movement in the west bank.

The checkpoint and the roadblock is used as an instrument to empress on the Palestinian people that they are in command and have full control over the Palestinian people. This is why the manning of the checkpoints is extremely humiliating and sometimes violent.

Another source of concern is the destruction of houses.

Different sections of the West Bank have different problems. Particular violence in Hebron.

Israel is in violation of security council resolutions, but no sanctions are imposed on Israel, but sanctions have been imposed on the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people.

Questions by Anonymous

Why not use the same approach as in South Africa during apartheid

Dugard

There are similarities, but in Palestine we are particularly concerned about a military occupation.

The answer is clear. The apartheid regime was initially protected by western european powers. Increasingly, those states lost faith with the apartheid regime and was eventually isolated.

The frame of protest is not the same.

Examination of the Report

Dugard

Fail to identify international humanitarian law.

Shall speak of Israeli actions against ordinary non-militant or activist Palestinians.

I hope my protrayal of the hardships will help those acts on the suffering of the Palestinian people (for those who turn a blind eye)

Situation has deteriorated each year.

Would like to describe some practices and laws palestinians have to deal with.

In Gaza, people have to deal with bombing by Israel. What Israel calls collateral damage is in fact deliberate killing. Then there are sonic booms. The power plant was destroyed. Hospitals have to use generators and drugs are in short supply.

Agricultural land has been flattened by buldozers. Food prices have increased. Crossings are closed, not for security reasons, but to push presssure on the Palestinians to release the kidnapped soldier.

The Wall is no longer considered by Israel as a security concern, and conceeds that it has a political functions.

Many palestinians have abandoned their lands, and this has led to a situation of internal diaplacement.

Throughout the westbank there are

Israel

No value to a report pursuant to a one sided mandated that prejudges key issues. This report is characterised by commissions.

There is an alarming disconnect between the report and what is happening on the ground.

While it has never been Israel's intention to return to Gaza, it has a duty to provide security for its citizens.

REPLIES

Special Rapporteur

Apologises to Canada... says there is a lot of disinformation

2.

1.

2. wha can palesitnnian NGOs do. I would suggest they continue to monitor the situation and advocate human rights\
3. about children in israeli prisons, there have been reports. I have respect fo rht israeli judicial system, and I would appeal the Israel governemetn to have a judicial inquiry into what is happening in Israeli prisons.

1. The Israeli ambassador has accused me on being one sided. I report on human rights violations. Unfortunately, there are many violations by the Israeli authorities.
2. Israeli has justified its actions on the kidnapping and th launching of Qassam rockets. however,r the response has been disproportionate.

I do not think that the use of the words terrorism is very useful

In south afric,a the ANC was called terrorist. It was only once this term was dropped that we achieved something.

Finally, there is the road map that I have criticised. The quartet members should show more commitment

Finally, there is the view that the Quartet will not to talk with Hamas because it does not like it. But history is full of examples of States talking ot unfriendly regimes. Like in South Africa for example. I think it would further the cause of peace to talk with Hamas.
















Dichiarazione del prof. John Dugard, Relatore Speciale sullo stato dei diritti umani nel Territorio Palestinese Occupato
Seconda Sessione del Consiglio per i Diritti Umani
26 settembre 2006

1. I militanti politici hanno diritti, e secondo la legge sui diritti umani, e secondo quella umanitaria internazionale. Oggi questa ovvia verità è rifiutata da Israele e da alcuni stati occidentali, che dovrebbero essere più saggi. Nella cosiddetta 'guerra contro il terrorismo', questi stati, e i loro leader, ritengono che ogni atto, per quanto brutale, sia permesso; nutrono pertanto poche simpatie per gli appelli a rispettare i diritti dei militanti politici. Queste convinzioni sono così radicate che serve a ben poco cercare di persuaderli che non riescono a comprendere la legge sui diritti umani e quella umanitaria internazionale. Questo è il motivo per cui oggi non parlerò delle azioni israeliane contro militanti e politici palestinesi. Parlerò solo, invece, delle azioni di Israele contro palestinesi comuni, non militanti, non attivisti, che cercano di istruire i figli perchè vivano meglio, e di godere una vita normale. Spero che il descrivere le difficoltà che incontrano sia di pungolo alla coscienza di chi è abituato a non vedere e a non sentire quanto soffre il popolo palestinese.

2. Sono stato Relatore Speciale sui diritti umani nel Territorio Palestinese Occupato (OPT) sin dal 2001. A questo riguardo, la situazione si è deteriorata tutti gli anni, fino ad ora; questo è intollerabile, spaventoso, tragico – chiamatelo come volete – per il palestinese comune. Per spiegare questo, lasciatemi descrivere alcune delle azioni, pratiche e leggi israeliane che questi affronta.

3. A Gaza, a partire dalla cattura del caporale Gilad Shalit, il 25 giugno, gli abitanti sono stati sottoposti a continui bombardamenti ed incursioni militari, in cui sono stati uccisi 100 civili, e molte centinaia sono stati feriti. Quanto Israele sceglie di descrivere come “danno collaterale” alla popolazione civile sono nei fatti uccisioni indiscriminate, proibite dalla legge internazionale. Poi vi sono regolarmente le bombe-suono, che terrorizzano la popolazione di notte.

4. A giugno, Israele ha bombardato e distrutto l'unica centrale elettrica per uso domestico a Gaza. Più della metà del rifornimento elettrico è quindi stato tagliato; gli abitanti resteranno senza elettricità adeguata per un altro anno almeno. Questo ha un impatto non solo sul riscaldamento e la cottura dei cibi, ma anche sul rifornimento idrico: le pompe per l'acqua sono prive di energia elettrica.

5. Gli ospedali sono costretti ad usare generatori per gli apparecchi di rianimazione, a causa delle interruzioni di energia. Mancano molti farmaci essenziali. I dipendenti dell'ospedale non lo possono raggiungere: dato che non si pagano i salari, non possono permettersi il trasporto al luogo di lavoro. I pazienti non possono spostarsi all'estero, per ottenere un trattamento migliore, perchè il passaggio di Rafah è chiuso.

6. Le case sono state distrutte dai carri armati e dai bulldozer. Analogamente, sono stati arrecati danni alle scuole. Sono stati sradicati alberi di limoni e di olivo; terreni agricoli sono stati spianati dai bulldozer.

7. Tre quarti della popolazione non riescono a nutrirsi e dipendono da aiuti alimentari. I prezzi del cibo sono inflazionati. Il pesce non è più disponibile, perchè il blocco navale israeliano proibisce la pesca; il cibo deperibile marcisce, per la mancanza di elettricità.

8. Sia il passaggio di Rafah, per le persone, sia quello di Karni, per i beni, sono continuamente chiusi; non per motivi di sicurezza, ma per far pressione sui palestinesi in modo che sia liberato il caporale Shalit. Gaza è una prigione, di cui Israele sembra aver gettato la chiave.

9. In Cisgiordania vi è il Muro, che Israele non giustifica più come una misura di sicurezza; ha riconosciuto apertamente, invece, che serve ad annettere colonie e la terra delle medesime. Questo ha un grave impatto umanitario. I palestinesi che vivono fra il Muro e la Linea Verde, nella cosiddetta 'zona chiusa', non hanno libero accesso a scuole, ospedali, luoghi di lavoro in Cisgiordania. Quelli che vi vivono accanto, in Cisgiordania, non possono accedere ai loro poderi nella zona chiusa senza un permesso; questi sono frequentemente rifiutati, per motivi speciosi, dai burocrati israeliani, che hanno deciso di umiliare i contadini palestinesi. Nella disperazione, molti di questi hanno abbandonato i loro campi; vi è ora, pertanto, una nuova categoria di profughi interni. In altri Paesi, questo potrebbe essere descritto come pulizia etnica; il 'politically correct' impedisce di usare questi termini, per quanto riguarda Israele.

10. In tutta la Cisgiordania ci sono posti di blocco e blocchi stradali - ora più di 500 -, che la frammentano in bantustan. Le città sono isolate l'una dall'altra. All'interno della Cisgiordania, non si possono trasportare liberamente merci. E le persone con il permesso di attraversare i posti di blocco sono sottoposte a molestie ed umiliazioni dai soldati dell'IDF, che paiono considerare tutti i palestinesi come terroristi. Nella maggior parte dei casi, i posti di blocco non hanno alcun fine di sicurezza; hanno lo scopo, piuttosto, di rendere i palestinesi continuamente consapevoli del potere israeliano.

11. La demolizione di case continua per vari motivi: il mancato ottenimento di un permesso edilizio, operazioni di polizia, la vicinanza del Muro. Il bulldozer Caterpillar è diventato un simbolo dell'occupazione.

12. Parti diverse dei Territori Occupati vanno incontro a problemi diversi.

13. A Gerusalemme, il Muro divide la comunità palestinese: alcuni sono relegati in Cisgiordania, mentre altri mantengono il privilegio di essere residenti a Gerusalemme Est. Attraversare il Muro è diventato un incubo; famiglie sono state divise.

14. La parte sud di Hebron, sede della violenza dei coloni, ora ha un problema nuovo. Si sta costruendo un Muro basso fra le case palestinesi e le terre per il pascolo e l'agricoltura – con lo scopo, al solito, di facilitare gli spostamenti dei coloni.

15. La Valle del Giordano sta per essere annessa, di fatto ma non di nome. Chi non vi risiede non può più entrare nell'area senza un permesso. I posti di blocco isolano la Valle, e le colonie si espandono.

16. Prevale una grave crisi umanitaria in Cisgiordania, anche se non è così estrema come nel caso di Gaza. Il 40 per cento circa è sotto la linea di povertà e dipende dall'aiuto alimentare. La disoccupazione corrisponde al 40% circa; i dipendenti pubblici, che ammontano al 23% della popolazione palestinese, sono occupati, ma senza paga.

17. In larga misura, la crisi umanitaria consegue all'aver posto fine al finanziamento dell'Autorità Palestinese, da quando è stato eletto in carica Hamas. Israele trattiene illegalmente l'IVA e gli introiti doganali, ciò che ammonta a 50-60 milioni di dollari al mese, mentre gli USA, il Canada e l'Unione Europea hanno sospeso il finanziamento dei progetti connessi all'Autorità Palestinese. Il Meccanismo Internazionale Temoraneo della UE, progettato allo scopo di soccorrere il settore sanitario e di fornire un'indennità di base alla parte più misera della comunità, ha dato qualche sollievo, ma è inadeguato a sostenere il grosso della popolazione. I Territori Occupati dipendono pesantemente, sin dal 1994, dai finanziamenti esteri; interromperli ha avuto un grave impatto sulla società palestinese.

18. In effetti, il popolo palestinese è stato sottoposto a sanzioni economiche; è la prima volta che un popolo sotto occupazione è trattato così. Israele, che viola la legge internazionale, come esposta e dal Consiglio di Sicurezza, e dalla Corte Internazionale di Giustizia, non è punita. Ma il popolo palestinese è punito per aver eletto democraticamente un regime inaccettabile ad Israele, agli USA e alla UE.

19. L'attacco contro Gaza, con le concomitanti uccisioni e ferimenti, la costruzione del Muro, il sistema dei posti di blocco, il distruggere case e di campi, la crisi umanitaria imposta, che da tutto questo deriva, non possono essere giustificati legalmente. Come misure di sicurezza sono gravemente sproporzionate ed indiscriminate. Costituiscono una punizione collettiva, non di un governo ma di un popolo – in chiara violazione dell'Articolo 33 della Quarta Convenzione di Ginevra.

20. Israele è gravemente responsabile della situazione che ho descritto. Le sue azioni, le sue pratiche e le sue leggi trattano i palestinesi con durezza. Ma altri stati ed istituzioni hanno la loro parte di responsabilità. Gli Stati Uniti, il Canada e la UE hanno contribuito in modo sostanziale alla crisi umanitaria ritirando i finanziamenti, non solo all'Autorità Palestinese, ma anche al popolo di Palestina.

21. È triste che le Nazioni Unite, che fanno parte del Quartetto, abbiano tacitamente approvato questo atto; si sono rese nei fatti corresponsabili delle sanzioni economiche imposte contro il popolo palestinese. Tutti gli stati che appartengono a questo Consiglio fanno parte delle Nazioni Unite, e sono quindi almeno in parte responsabili della situazione attuale.

22. Lasciatemi concludere dicendo, come ho fatto negli ultimi cinque anni, che le azioni di Israele, e ora di altri stati, contro il popolo di Palestina, mettono in dubbio l'impegno della comunità internazionale per i diritti umani. Se gli stati e le istituzioni di cui è costituita la comunità internazionale non possono riconoscere quanto avviene negli OPT, e non intraprendono una qualche azione, non devono essere sorpresi se i popoli del pianeta non credono che si impegnino seriamente per promuovere i diritti umani e per proteggere un popolo in pericolo.
