settlement process. According to the information received, Mangakahia

Whanau is a Maori iwi (tribe) numbering over one thousand people whose
ancestral territory is located in the Hauraki District. Reportedly, the New
Zealand Government‘s policy of negotiating treaty settlements with large
Maori groupings or collectives, rather than individual tribes, has resulted in
the claims of the Mangakahia Whanau not being adequately addressed by the
collective with whom the Government is negotiating, the Hauraki Collective.
Furthermore, the Hauraki Collective purports to act on behalf of Mangakahia
Whanau, without its authorization or consent. This is of special concern since
the Hauraki Collective reportedly intends to claim reparations that would
otherwise be due to the Mangakahia Whanau under the treaty settlement
process.

Summary executions; Alleged imposition of the death penalty in violation of due process
safeguards. According to the information received, the de facto authorities in
Gaza have carried out 14 executions since January 2008 without the required
approval, including for example that prescribed under Palestinian law. Among
these, the executions of Messrs. Mohamed Ahmad Hamada Baraka,
Mohamad Jameel Mohamad Abdeen, Fayez Talab Nassar al-Wheidi, Nael
Jamal Qandeel Dughmush, Hazem Helmi Herez and Waleed Khaled Ismail
Jarbou were reportedly carried out in April and July 2012. It is reported that
in many cases, capital punishment is imposed by military courts, under the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Revolutionary Code 1979, following
trials which allegedly do not comply with international due process
safeguards. Against this backdrop, the following persons may be at imminent
risk of executions: Jameel Zakaria Jaber Juha; Ehab Diab Mustafa Abu alAmreen; and Usama Zidan Jaber al-Ghoul.
