Recommendations:
ICHR reiterates its recommendations contained in the previous annual reports, and
stresses in particular the need for the Palestinian government to approach the UN
to request its serious intervention to stop the daily and escalating violations of the
Israeli occupation, and to take the necessary measures to protect the Palestinian
civilians under occupation in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Call on the High Contracting Parties to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 to
intervene and ensure that the occupying power respects the Conventions and
adheres to its legal obligations to implement the international conventions to
which it is a party to, in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.
The Palestinian government should continue pressure on the international
community to end the protracted Israeli occupation of the 1967-occupied
Palestinian territories, to consolidate Palestinian sovereignty over the Palestinian
land and to protect the right of the Palestinian people to life and self-determination.
For the Palestinian government to invite the UN Special Rapporteur on Arbitrary
Detention to visit the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons, to
learn about their detention conditions and the occupation policies against them
in light of the Corona pandemic. For the Palestinian government to call on the
international community to support the prisoners and intervene in order to
pressure the Israeli occupying power to release the sick prisoners, the elderly,
women and children. For the Palestinian government to continue its diplomatic
efforts, targeting UN member states, to pressure the occupying power to stop
all its settlement expansionist activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, and
implement UN Security Council Resolution 2334 on settlements. Approach the
Oslo Accords and the Paris Economic Agreement sponsoring countries; prepare
a file of the occupying power’s violations of those agreements, to put pressure on
the Israeli occupying power and reconsider the agreements.
