A/HRC/8/17 page 21 III. CONCLUSION 55. The human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory remains grave, particularly in Gaza. The recommendations made by the High Commissioner for Human Rights in her most recent report73 on human rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, notably concerning the establishment of accountability mechanisms and the closure of Gaza, have not been implemented. On the contrary, during the reporting period, actions taken by the parties continued to violate international human rights and humanitarian law. Against this background, all previous recommendations made by the High Commissioner remain valid and should be urgently implemented by the parties. ----- 73 A/HRC/7/76, paras. 56-62.
