On 31 January 2022, Al-Haq,
“Law in the Service of Man”,
Addameer, Prisoner Support and
Human Rights Association,
Cairo Institute for Human
Rights Studies, Habitat
International Coalition –
Housing and Land Rights
Network, the Jerusalem Legal
Aid and Human Rights Center,
Al Mezan Center for Human
Rights, and the Community
Action Center/ Al-Quds
University submitted a joint
parallel report to the United
Nations Human Rights Committee
(HRC), detailing Israel’s
violation and failed
implementation of the
International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights
(ICCPR). The submission
further showed that Israel’s
violations of the ICCPR are
the result of its entrenching
and maintaining of an
apartheid regime over the
Palestinian people as a whole,
including through its
prolonged belligerent
occupation.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px
0;padding:
0;mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust:
100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust:
100%;color:
#202020;font-family:
Helvetica;font-size:
16px;line-height:
150%;text-align: left;">The
77-page submission showed that
Israel has been establishing,
entrenching, and
operationalising its apartheid
regime through strategic
fragmentation of the
Palestinian People as a whole.
The parallel report
illustrated how Israel is
violating the Palestinian
right to self-determination by
preventing the Palestinian
people from exercising
sovereignty over their land
and natural recourses. It
further highlighted the
restrictions that Israel, the
Occupying Power, imposes on
Palestinians preventing them
from agricultural development,
in violation of Article 1 of
the ICCPR. Moreover, Israel’s
discriminatory nationality and
residency laws, policies and
practices violate Article 2 of
the ICCPR prohibiting
discrimination, including
racial discrimination.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px
0;padding:
0;mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust:

100%;color:
#202020;font-family:
Helvetica;font-size:
16px;line-height:
150%;text-align: left;">The
report exposed that Israel’s
use of unnecessary and
disproportionate force and the
denial of access to medical
care to Palestinians, as
violating the Palestinians’
right to life, enshrined in
Article 6 of the ICCPR. It
further demonstrated that
Israel’s torture and
ill-treatment of Palestinians
during interrogation and
detentions, and its inhuman
practice of withholding
Palestinian bodies are in
violation of the prohibition
of torture as stipulated by
Article 7 of the ICCPR.
Moreover, Israel’s arbitrary
detention, including the
campaign of mass arrests and
detentions after the Unity
Uprising violates Article 9 of
the ICCPR, which prohibits
arbitrary detention.
Furthermore, that the
conditions of detention and
deliberate medical neglect
amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
amounts to violations of
Article 10 of the ICCPR.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px
0;padding:
0;mso-line-height-rule:

100%;color:
#202020;font-family:
Helvetica;font-size:
16px;line-height:
150%;text-align: left;">The
report also outlined how
Israel is violating the
Palestinian people’s freedom
of movement through its
annexation wall, checkpoints,
closure and military blockade,
permit system and travel bans
which amount to violations of
Articles 12 and 13 of the
ICCPR. In addition, the report
illustrated how Israel’s
military judicial system plays
an integral role in sustaining
its apartheid regime. It
further examined how Israel’s
systematic denial of the right
to a fair trial, judicial
process and guarantees
violates Article 14 of the
ICCPR. Furthermore, the report
exposed Israel’s breach of
Palestinians’ freedom of
expression, the right to
peaceful assembly and freedom
of association as entailed in
Articles 19, 21 and 22,
including highlighting
Israel’s unsubstantiated
smearing of Palestinian civil
society organisations as
“terrorist organisations”.
Israel’s racial discrimination
and apartheid regime violates
Article 26 of the ICCPR which
establishes that “[a]ll
persons are equal before the
law and are entitled without
any discrimination to the
equal protection of the law.”</p>
<p style="margin: 10px

100%;color:
#202020;font-family:
Helvetica;font-size:
16px;line-height:
150%;text-align: left;">The
report concludes that “[s]ince
the 2014 Concluding
Observations, Israel has
failed to adopt the
Committee’s recommendations
and continues to
violate fundamental rights enshrined in
the ICCPR.” It further noted
that the 2019 Concluding
Observations of the Committee
on the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination (CERD)
recognized the continuity of
Israel’s discriminatory laws,
policies, and practices
targeting Palestinians on both
sides of the Green Line and
urged Israel to “give full
effect to article 3 of the
Convention and eradicate all
forms of segregation between
Jewish and non-Jewish
communities and any such
policies or practices that
severely and
disproportionately affect the
Palestinian population in
Israel proper and in the
Occupied Palestinian
Territory.”</p>

150%;text-align: left;">Finally,
building upon the mounting
recognition that Israel
imposes an apartheid regime
over the Palestinian people as
a whole, the organisations
called on the Human Rights
Committee to recognize the
following:</p>
<ul>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">The
HRC acknowledges the root
causes of the situation in
Palestine as one of settler
colonisation and apartheid.
Through the strategic
fragmentation and
segregation of the
Palestinian people into
domains, Israel has ensured
that Palestinians cannot
meet, group, live together,
and exercise their
collective rights,
particularly their right to
self-determination in
violation of the ICCPR,
including article 1 of the
ICCPR.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">The
continuity of Israeli
discriminatory apartheid
policies, practices and laws
on both sides of the Green
Line impose racial
domination and oppression
targeting the Palestinian
people on both sides of the
Green Line and Palestinian
refugees and exiles, who are
denied the right to return
to their lands, homes and
properties.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Israel
has imposed an
institutionalized regime of
racial domination and
oppression amounting to a
regime of apartheid
targeting the Palestinian
people as a whole in
violation of the ICCPR.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">We
further recommend that the
Human Rights Committee makes
the following
recommendations to the State
Party:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Urge
Israel to cease conferring
public functions of the
State to the WZO/JA and JNF,
which are chartered to carry
out material discrimination
against non-Jewish persons
and have historically
prevented the indigenous
Palestinian people on both
sides of the Green Line from
accessing or exercising
control over their means of
subsistence, including their
natural wealth and
resources, by exploiting and
diverting Palestinian
natural resources for the
benefit of Israeli-Jewish
settler, exemplified by the
latest cases of Sheikh
Jarrah and the Naqab.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Demand
that Israel repeals all
legislation enshrining
racial discrimination,
domination, and oppression,
including repealing the
Basic Laws and other
statutes that directly or
indirectly affect the
enjoyment of human rights
through racial and/or
racialized distinctions,
including on the basis of
religion. In particular, we
urge the Committee to call
on Israel to repeal the
following laws, as
foundational to Israel’s
creation of an apartheid
regime, including but not
limited to:
<ol>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">The

(1950);</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:

Basic Law: Israel as the

</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Declare
that the Jewish Nation-State
Law (2018) is antithetical
to the object and purpose of
the Covenant as it has the
purpose of nullifying the
recognition, enjoyment, and
exercise, on an equal

and fundamental freedoms in
the state party and in areas
under its effective control.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Call
on Israel to ensure family
unification of all persons
within its territory or

control, irrespective of
their ethnicity or national
or other origin.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Call
on Israel to cease all
measures and policies, which
contribute to the
fragmentation of the
Palestinian people,
including the denial of
Palestinian refugee return,
the closure of Jerusalem and
of the Gaza Strip, the
construction of the
Annexation Wall, and the
imposition of severe
movement and access
restrictions, as core
elements in Israel’s
creation of an apartheid
regime over the Palestinian
people on both sides of the
Green Line and further
afield. We also urge the
Committee to demand that
Israel make suitable and
sufficient reparation to all
fragments of the affected
Palestinian people,
including Palestinian
refugees and displaced
persons, as mandated by
international law.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Consider
Israel’s persistent refusal
to grant Palestinian
refugees and displaced
persons their right of
return to their homes and
property in their villages,
towns, and cities of origin,
as a core element in its
creation and maintenance of
its apartheid regime over
the Palestinian people and
reaffirm the right of return
of all Palestinian refugees
and internally displaced
persons to their homes,
property, and land which
they were forced in flee in
1948 and thereafter, and to
call on Israel to comply
with Article 12 of the
ICCPR.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Urge
the reversal of Israel’s
policies and practices with
regards to demographic
manipulation as a
manifestation of the crimes
of population transfer and
apartheid, in violation of
Article 12 of the Covenant,
through the fragmentation of
the Palestinian people as a
whole, the prolonged and
illegal closure of Gaza, the
closure of Jerusalem and the
precarious “permanent
residency” status of
Palestinians in East
Jerusalem, the imposition of
two separate legal systems
in the occupied West Bank,
and the denial of the
internationally recognised
right of return of
Palestinians living as
refugees and in exile.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Demand
Israel cease forthwith the
ongoing closure of Gaza and
lift the blockade with
immediate effect, lift
restrictions on dual-use
items, and recognise that
Israel’s discriminatory
policies and practices,
amounting to the crime of
apartheid, have already made
the Gaza Strip uninhabitable
and violate the full
spectrum of rights owed to
the Palestinian people,
including Palestinian
refugees, in the Gaza Strip
by denying them the
enjoyment on an equal
footing of fundamental
rights and freedoms.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Reaffirm
the findings of the 2004 ICJ
Advisory Opinion on the
illegality of the Annexation
Wall built in the occupied
West Bank, including in and
around East Jerusalem, and
call on Israel to uphold its
obligation to cease
forthwith the works of
construction of the
Annexation Wall, to
dismantle forthwith the
structure therein situated,
and to repeal or render
ineffective forthwith all
legislative and regulatory
acts relating thereto, in
accordance with
international law.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:

on Israel to reconsider its
entire planning and zoning
policy in consultation with
the indigenous Palestinian
people directly affected by
Israel’s discriminatory
measures, which include
illegal house demolitions
and destruction of property,
denial of access to land and
natural resources, and the
creation of coercive
environments designed to
drive Palestinian transfer.
We further recommend that
the Committee consider
Israel’s discriminatory
planning and zoning regime
as a manifestation of the
crimes of population
transfer and apartheid, in
violation of Article 3 of
the Convention.</li>
<li
style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Demand
that Israel immediately
ceases any and all practices
of intimidation and
silencing of human rights
defenders, organisations,

in violation of their right
to freedom of expression,
including through arbitrary
detention, torture and other
ill-treatment,
institutionalised hate
speech and incitement,
residency revocation,
deportations, and other
coercive or punitive
measures. In particular,
that the Israeli Minister of
Defence rescinds the

<li

Jerusalem, and dismantle
those already in existence,
in accordance with its
obligations, as occupying
Power, under international
humanitarian law and as
mandated by international
criminal law, in particular
the Rome Statute applicable
in the oPt, and to call for
an end to Israel’s prolonged
occupation of the
Palestinian territory, in
line with Israel’s
obligation to uphold the
right of the Palestinian
people to
self-determination,
including permanent
sovereignty over natural
wealth and resources.</li>
