A/HRC/20/32 their efforts to address this situation and of upcoming measures. I would like to urge Israel to end the blockade in order to ensure that the minimum needs of the population living in Gaza are met.‖26 VII. Right of self-determination 37. It is beyond controversy that the Palestinian people enjoy an inalienable right of selfdetermination that is confirmed by article 1 of both the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as being set forth in the Charter of the United Nations. The General Assembly and the Security Council have both confirmed that the right of self-determination is possessed by the Palestinian people, and should be realized through a sustainable solution to the conflict. 27 The International Court of Justice viewed the construction of the separation wall on occupied Palestinian territory as a violation of the right of selfdetermination belonging to the Palestinian people. VIII. Recommendations 38. The Special Rapporteur recommends that: (a) In the light of widespread abusive administrative detention procedures and practices, a resolution of censure be adopted by the Human Rights Council, and a special body be tasked with preparing a detailed study of the application of administrative detention as applied by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory; (b) In view of the persistence of occupation for nearly half a century, with no end in sight, the Human Rights Council should commission a study of the adequacy of international humanitarian law to cover the situations caused by prolonged occupation and provide Israel and the international community with appropriate recommendations; (c) Support be given for a request to the International Court of Justice for an Advisory Opinion on the Israeli practice of transferring detained Palestinians to prisons in Israel, denying normal visitation rights, possibly joined to a broader request for legal clarification of the special character of prolonged belligerent occupation; (d) The Human Rights Council take emergency notice of an Israeli legislative initiative that purports to legalize settlement “outposts”, currently unlawful under Israeli law, which would both further increase Israeli settlement land claims and correspondingly undermine Palestinian rights, including with respect to Palestinian self-determination; (e) The Human Rights Council should give increased attention to the refusal by Israel to cooperate with the normal functioning of the United Nations by way of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. 26 27 16 Preliminary remarks of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing (note 23 above).
