Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories

UN Special Committee: "UN should be more innovative in its approaches to the question of Palestine"



The three-member Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories recommended that the General Assembly “think of innovative ways to fulfil its responsibility with respect to all aspects of the question of Palestine until this question is resolved in conformity with relevant United Nations resolutions and norms of international law, and until the inalienable rights of the Palestinians are fully realized.” The UN General Assembly should be more innovative in its approaches to the question of Palestine, Israel should distinguish between military objectives and civilians and the PA should control Palestinian armed groups so as to stop violence against civilians, a Special Committee says in a new report.
