NGOs call on the UN commission to investigate human rights abuses, Israel’s racist policies
Following the publication, yesterday of the announcement by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel (COI-OPTI), which ended that the resumed Israeli occupation, impunity, and prejudice against Palestinians as underlying root led to recurrent tensions, instability, and protraction of competition, the Haifa-based Adalah rights center called on the UN commission to resume to investigate human rights misuses and Israel’s racist guidelines of segregation, authority, and Jewish sovereignty in all regions under its control.
“Adalah calls upon the commission to continue to investigate key human rights abuses it referred to in its preliminary report, including the Jewish Nation-State Law and its discriminatory effects, the ban on Palestinian family unification, the forced displacement of Bedouin citizens of Israel, the increased violence within Israel in 2021 and 2022 and the increasing attacks on human rights defenders and Palestinian civil society organizations advocating the protection of human rights and accountability – including the recent designation of six human rights and civil society organizations as ‘terrorist organizations,” the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel in a statement reported.
These asserted some of the key human rights offenses against Palestinians that Adalah submitted to the COI-OPTI in late March in Amman, Jordan, said Adalah, adding that it will keep providing the COI-OPTI with evidence and study of Israel’s racist policies of segregation, authority, and Jewish nobility on both sides of the Green Line.
The statement issued to the UN Human Rights Council is the first COI to handle human rights attacks committed against Palestinians in all the territories under Israeli rule including Palestinian residents of Israel.
