IMEMC - 5 Dec 2013
It has been another busy year in PCHR and the attached report will tell you why. – Link to full PCHR report on Human Rights situation in 2013 attached.
This year is one of the worst in regard to the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and there is not yet an end in sight. Rather, day- by-day, the situation continues to worsen with civilians paying the price.
The summary report for 2013 outlines the human rights violations committed by Israel, as well as by the Palestinian security services and the two governments in Gaza and Ramallah.
The report also includes information about ongoing settlement expansion and related violence, and the ongoing closure of the Gaza Strip.
Regrettably, the international focus has been reduced to issues related to basic needs and means of subsistence, including electricity and water supplies, and allowing the entry of some basic goods, such as construction materials, rather than addressing the underlying causes of the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
This report aims to shed light on the numerous human rights violations and the institutionalization of policies and laws which continue to undermine the rights of the Palestinian people.
