Human Rights Council discusses human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied arab territories discussion at the United Nations Human Rights Council

International-Lawyers.org said that the most fundamental human rights were being violated, and there was an extraordinary number of summary executions, as well as mass arbitrary imprisonment, including denial of food and water.  The repetition of those actions over a long period of time was evidence of the intention to commit the crime of genocide.  The Human Rights Council and Special Procedures were urged to investigate Israeli authorities to determine if those actions constituted the crime of genocide.
