A/HRC/19/20 party gathered in several towns of the West Bank to hold peaceful marches commemorating the ninetieth anniversary of the fall of the Islamic Caliphate. Despite having submitted a written notice of the march in Ramallah, Palestinian Authority security forces violently dispersed it, along with several other marches in a number of West Bank towns. One of the victims of these incidents in Hebron city informed OHCHR that he was severely beaten by 10 to 12 members of Palestinian Authority security forces before being apprehended. IV. Conclusion and recommendations 47. The human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory remains of concern. Serious violations of international law by all dutybearers continue to occur. All duty-bearers have an obligation to respect international human rights and international humanitarian law. The violations highlighted in the present report can be addressed through direct corrective action by the duty-bearers in the present context. OHCHR notes with appreciation that the Palestinian Authority is willing to cooperate with OHCHR to address shortcomings and continue to build its human rights capacity. With regard to the Government of Israel, OHCHR notes with appreciation indications of willingness to engage in a dialogue on its human rights responsibilities, and stresses the need for this dialogue to significantly develop over the coming months.

The de facto authorities must avoid locating military assets in densely populated areas and seek to remove those already in place. 49. Clear and unambiguous orders must be issued to all the security forces in Gaza prohibiting the use of torture and/or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the de facto authorities must ensure that members of the security forces respect these orders by investigating promptly, thoroughly and impartially all allegations of ill-treatment and by imposing appropriate disciplinary and penal sanctions against those found responsible. 50. The freedoms of opinion, expression and assembly of residents of Gaza, including journalists, must be respected. 51.
