Human Rights Council
Resolution 7/1.
Human rights violations emanating from Israeli military
attacks and incursions in the Occupied Palestinian
territory, particularly the recent ones in the occupied
Gaza Strip
The Human Rights Council,
Guided by the principles and objectives of the Charter of the United Nations,
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenants on
Human Rights,
Guided also by the rights of all peoples to self-determination and the
inadmissibility of the acquisition of land by the use of force, as enshrined in the
Charter of the United Nations,
Affirming the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the
Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, to the Occupied
Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
Affirming also the applicability of international human rights law to the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
Recognizing that the Israeli military attacks and incursions in the Occupied
Palestinian Territory, particularly the recent ones in the occupied Gaza Strip,
constitute violations of international humanitarian law and of the human rights of the
Palestinian people therein and undermine international efforts, including the
Annapolis Conference and the Paris International Donors’ Conference for the
Palestinian State, aimed at invigorating the peace process and establishing a viable,
contiguous, sovereign and independent Palestinian State by the end of 2008,
