The human rights commission also told Israel to ensure that the Palestinians in the occupied lands enjoy human rights that it had pledged to uphold in the main international human rights treaty and to end discrimination acts against them. The commission urged Israel to end extrajudicial executions of Palestinians, illegalize torture, end construction of settlements in the occupied lands, stop building the segregation wall cutting off Palestinian lands from other areas, and stop destroying homes as a mass punishment. It asked Israel to say in its next report due by July 2013 what action it had taken on these and other recommendations. |
