A/HRC/10/29 by Israel demonstrates its disdain for the international community. It appealed to the Council to ensure the protection of the Palestinian people and to oblige Israel to put an end to the ethnic purification and massacres in which it was engaged in the Palestinian territories. (d) Concluding remarks of the State under review 485. Israel indicated that, while the questions and recommendations were challenging, they hoped that they would ultimately serve a constructive purpose for all Israeli citizens. Israel was committed to implementing practical measures that, over time, would lead to the successful realization of the recommendations that it had accepted. 486. Israel noted the remarks of the President of the Council who, citing paragraph 32 of Council resolution 5/1, recalled that recommendations that enjoy the support of the State concerned would be identified as such, while other recommendations, together with the comments of the State concerned thereon, would be noted. The President emphasized how important it was for the State under review to indicate whether the recommendations that had not been referred to by the delegation were supported or noted. 487. In view of these remarks and the Council resolution, Israel indicated that it had already referred to the recommendations that enjoyed its support, and that all other recommendations had also been noted. 488. Israel would continue to consult with representatives of civil society and nongovernmental organizations to ensure the full realization of human rights in Israel. Israel believed that strong civil society involvement in the follow-up to the universal periodic review would make its vibrant democracy stronger, more resilient and more secure. 489. Israel was aware that its human rights record was not perfect; however, it had not lost sight of the founding ideals in their declaration of independence and looked forward to ensuring the continued growth of a society based upon the rule of law and fundamental freedoms. 490. Before the adoption of the outcome of the review on Israel, statements were made. 491. Palestine reiterated its support for the universal periodic review process and noted that the applicability of international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law, particularly the fourth Geneva Convention, with regard to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, made it incumbent upon the occupying authority to submit a detailed report on the human rights situation in the territories under its occupation, in addition to its report on the human rights situation within its own. Palestine questioned the commitment of Israel to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international human rights law and international humanitarian law in view of the fact that it occupied Palestinian territories in clear violation of United Nations principles and threatened international peace and security. Out of respect for international law and resolutions in general, and for the Council in particular, Israel must be obliged to apply all resolutions and recommendations adopted by the Council. Israel must respect all human rights mechanisms within the Council, in particular special procedures and fact-finding missions. Palestine indicated that the fact that Israel, as the occupying Power, had rejected a number of recommendations threatened the whole universal periodic review mechanism and undermined the work of the Council; it thus expressed its reservations. It noted that, in accordance with paragraph 32 of Council resolution 5/1, all recommendations form part of the outcome. 492. Pakistan, on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, noted that the universal periodic review was one of the most important mechanisms established by the Council to address human rights situations in the country under review in a comprehensive GE.09-17451 165
