OHCHR Press Conference / Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories Occupied since 1967
Press Conference Announcement
The Special Rapporteur will talk about his final report to the Human Rights Council,
which will cover longstanding issues relating to settlements and their effects on the integrity of Palestinian territory, including in East Jerusalem, as well as developments in respect to the question of corporate complicity and trade with settlements. Mr. Falk marks the 10 year anniversary of the 2004 International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion on the Wall, and reports also on the current humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. He questions whether acts committed in the context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine may amount to apartheid and segregation under international law.
