A/HRC/18/49 Mission on the Gaza Conflict, in particular individuals who had appeared at the public hearings held by the Mission in Gaza and Geneva and expressed criticism of actions by Israel. 47. The Secretary-General is not aware of any reprisals taken by the Government of Israel against Palestinian or Israeli individuals that cooperated with the Mission. However, a proposal introduced in the Knesset in June 2011 would, if adopted, end the assignment of National Service civilian volunteers to the Israeli non-governmental organizations that cooperated with the Mission.32 48. In paragraph 1972 (i) of its report, the Mission recommended that Israel should reiterate its commitment to respecting the inviolability of United Nations premises and personnel and that it should undertake all appropriate measures to ensure that there was no repetition of violations in the future. It further recommended that reparations to the United Nations should be provided fully and without further delay by Israel, and that the General Assembly should consider the matter. 49. To date, the United Nations has not received any formal communication from the Government of Israel reiterating a commitment to respecting the inviolability of United Nations premises and personnel. Information on the subject of reparations was included in A/HRC/13/55. F. Action by Palestinian armed groups 50. In paragraph 1973 of its report, the Mission addressed two recommendations to Palestinian armed groups. 51. In paragraph 1973 (a) of its report, the Mission recommended that Palestinian armed groups should undertake forthwith to respect international humanitarian law, in particular by renouncing attacks on Israeli civilians and civilian objects, and take all feasible precautionary measures to avoid harm to Palestinian civilians during hostilities. 52. Indiscriminate rocket and mortar attacks against Israel continue to be launched from Gaza.33 According to the United Nations Department of Safety and Security, from 1 September 2010 to 21 June 2011 there were 32 incidents of rocket fire and 19 incidents of mortar shelling. The Secretary-General is unable to confirm whether Palestinian armed groups have taken all feasible precautionary measures to avoid harm to Palestinian civilians during hostilities. 53. In paragraph 1973 (b) of its report, the Mission recommended that the Palestinian armed groups holding Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in detention should release him on humanitarian grounds; pending that release, they should recognize his status as prisoner of war, treat him as such, and allow him ICRC visits. 54. At the time of writing, Gilad Shalit was still in detention, had not been recognized as a prisoner of war and had not been not allowed any contact with ICRC.34 32 33 34 12 Jonathan Lis, “Israeli rights groups that cooperated with Goldstone may no longer get National Service volunteers”, Haaretz, 12 June 2011.
