Richard Falk's Final Report as UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in occupied Palestine

by Richard Falk on 23-02-2014

The present report is the final report of the current Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Richard Falk. In the report, the Special Rapporteur addresses Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the wall in the context of the tenth anniversary of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, and considers the policies and practices of Israel in occupied Palestine in light of the prohibition on segregation and apartheid. He also addresses concerns in relation to the deterioration of the human rights situation of Palestinians living under the Israeli blockade in the Gaza Strip.

Richard Falk uses this ultimate opportunity to speak self-evident truths with an unvarnished frankness guaranteed to upset and offend supporters of ethnic cleansing, racism and apartheid, both in Israel and in other settler-colonial states.

Here is the Report:
