Allegations of removal orders, travel bans and related court proceedings against a
human rights defender. According to the information received, on 19 November
2014, Mr. Daoud al-Ghoul was expelled from Jerusalem, his hometown and place
of work, by an order of the Israeli Home Front Command based on secret evidence.
On 3 December 2014, he was expelled from the West Bank by another order,
following his relocation there. Petitions were subsequently submitted challenging
the orders at the Israeli High Court of Justice. On 22 March 2015, the High Court
rejected the petitions against the military orders. On 12 March 2015, a third order
was issued against Mr. Al-Ghoul, banning him from travelling abroad. On 25 June
2015, Mr. Al-Ghoul was arrested and subsequently charged with ‘membership of
an illegal association’. He remains in detention in Megiddo Prison. A
communication on the same subject was also transmitted to the State of Palestine,

Alleged denial of public participation of civil society organizations in the processes 29/10/2015
of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. According to
the information received, some States have objected to the participation of civil
society in stages of the process of negotiations of the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change. It is reported that this objection contravenes a
decision of the Conference of the Parties meeting as the Conference of the Parties
under the Kyoto Protocol indicates that observers should be allowed into any
meeting unless a third of States convening the meeting object, which is not the case
in the present instance.
