- Call on the State of Palestine to approach the Oslo Accords and the Paris Economic Agreement
sponsoring countries, as well as to prepare a file of the occupying power’s violations of those
agreements, in addition to exerting pressure on the occupation state to reconsider its violations.
- Consolidate all efforts and a firm position by the international humanitarian and human rights
institutions in taking up their duties towards protecting the education sector in Palestine, in light
of the occupation’s continued targeting of this vital sector.
- Call on the official Palestinian institutions to address the Treaty Committees at the United Nations
in order to explain the obstacles and challenges that the occupation poses and its practices on the
ability of the State of Palestine to perform the tasks entrusted to it and implement its international
obligations under the human rights conventions it acceded.

Chapter 1
The developments on Civil and Political Rights
The first subject: The Right to Life
The ICHR documented (140) deaths in abnormal conditions, (30) cases related to females
and (40) cases of children, compared to (152) deaths in abnormal conditions that occurred
in 2018, of which (45) were for females and (49) for children. It is worth noticing the
decline in the number of deaths this year compared to that in last year, whether in terms
of the total number or the number of female or child deaths. The ICHR documented one
death on grounds of "family honor", but it still sees an increase in the number of
mysterious female deaths (19 cases), which raises suspicion that the reason behind some
mysterious cases may be that they were motivated by "family honor". This requires the
Public Prosecution, as the official investigate-competent body, to demonstrate the highest
interest in investigating these deaths, in order to reveal the real causes behind them and
find who is responsible for them to hold them accountable.
The Commission documented (2) citizens' deaths resulting from the abuse of weapons,
both of which in the Gaza Strip, one of the victims was a female, which is a clear decrease
