Al-Haq at the UN Human Rights Council’s 62nd Session: The Responsibility of the International Community by Al-Haq

Amidst ongoing complicity by Third States in Israel’s commission of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, at the 62nd Regular Session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC62), Al-Haq shed a spotlight on the various means by which Israel is pursuing its annexationist goals and Zionist agenda of Palestinian erasure. Al-Haq’s engagement throughout HRC62, which took place between 15 June and 10 July 2026, included two written submissions and two oral interventions drawing much needed attention to the unhindered implementation of the ‘20-Point Plan’ – an attack on the very idea of a viable Palestinian State – and the widespread and systematic use of settler violence to destroy Palestinians in the West Bank and annex the Palestinian territory. Al-Haq also participated in a Side Event organised by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, centring on Israeli violence against mothers in the Gaza Strip.
