I.  ACTION TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ON THE EXERCISE

    OF THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

On 18 February 1993, in a letter addressed to the Secretary-General (A/47/893- S/25311), the Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People made the following statement:

"In my capacity as Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, I wish to draw your urgent attention to the current escalation of repression and use of collective punishment by the Israeli authorities against the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory.

"The situation in the Gaza Strip, in particular, is a matter of greatest concern owing to the increasing resort to warfare tactics by Israel, the occupying Power.  According to a press release by the Gaza Center for Rights and Law of 13 February 1993, and The Washington Post of 16 February 1993, a force of over 200 Israeli soldiers carried out a 13-hour military operation in the al-Arisha quarter of Khan Yunis, Gaza, on 11 February 1993, in search of fugitives and weapons.  Large-calibre machine-guns, anti-tank missiles, dynamite and 40 mm shells were reportedly used in the attack, which destroyed 10 houses and heavily damaged nine others.  Almost 200 Palestinians were affected, and 18 families were rendered homeless.  It should be pointed out that the homes were attacked after being searched, showing that the destruction did not serve any military purpose.  While this is reported to be the largest attack of its type to date, there has been a dramatic escalation of military assaults in recent months, resulting in severe damage to the homes of 62 families since July 1992.

"Recent information collected by human rights organizations also shows growing reliance on excessive force by Israeli troops against Palestinians, resulting in a rapid increase in facilities in the past six months.  According to an analysis conducted by B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, the overall number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces rose 63 to 76 between August 1992 and January 1993, a rise of more than 20 per cent over the previous six months.  Two thirds of the killings were reported to have occurred in non-life-threatening situations, as opposed to one half during the previous period; and fatalities among children were reported to have almost tripled, from 6 to 17.  According to Middle East International of 5 February 1993, many of the children were either shot in the back or were the victims of carelessness by the army in situations which could have been handled by non-lethal means.  In a recent incident, reported by The Christian Science Monitor of 10 February 1993, nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops in four days, the most violent days in more than two years.

"The Palestine Human Rights Information Center, based in Jerusalem, in a press release dated 22 January 1993, reported that at least 60 fatal shootings in 1992 were carried out by Israeli undercover soldiers and should be classified as extrajudicial killings.  According to eyewitness accounts, these killings typically take place without warning; victims are denied the opportunity to surrender; victims are shot even when unarmed or with hands in a position of surrender; victims are shot or beaten until dead even though they have been captured or wounded.

"On behalf of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, I would like once again to express alarm at the increasing repressive measures by Israel, the occupying Power, in violation of its obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and numerous Security Council resolutions.  The Committee urgently appeals to the Security Council to take the necessary measures to provide appropriate protection to the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution 681 (1990), until a permanent, durable and just solution is found to the question of Palestine based on relevant United Nations resolutions.

"The Committee also notes with great concern that the situation of nearly 400 Palestinian deportees remains unresolved and that they continue to suffer harsh conditions in southern Lebanon.  The Committee calls once again for the full and immediate implementation of Security Council resolution 799 (1992).  This would help to ensure the continuation of the peace process, preserve the prestige and credibility of the Security Council, and guarantee respect for international law and agreements by all, without exception."

"The Commission on Human Rights,

"Guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular the provisions of Articles 1 and 55 thereof, which affirm the right of peoples to self-determination,

"Guided also by the provisions of article 1 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which affirm that all peoples have the right to self-determination,

"Taking into consideration the provisions of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 1515 (XV) of 14 December 1960,

"Noting Security Council resolutions 183 (1963) of 11 December 1963 and 218 (1965) of 23 November 1965, which affirmed the interpretation of the principle of self-determination as laid down in General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV),

"Recalling General Assembly resolutions 181 A and B (II) of 29 November 1947 and 194 (III) of 11 December 1948, as well as all other resolutions which confirm and define the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to self-determination without external interference and to the establishment of their independent State on their national soil, especially Assembly resolutions ES-7/2 of 29 July 1980 and 37/86 E of 20 December 1982,

"Recalling that the military occupation by the armed forces of a State of the territory of another State constitutes an act of aggression and a crime against the peace and security of mankind, according to General Assembly resolution 3314 (XXIX) of 14 December 1974,

"Expressing its grave concern that no just solution has been achieved to the problem of Palestine, which has constituted the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict since 1948,

"Reiterating its grave concern at the military, economic and political support given by some States to Israel, which would encourage and support Israel in its policies based on aggression, expansion and continued occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories and the Judaization of the occupied territory by establishing Jewish settlements and settling Jewish immigrants therein,

"Affirming that the directing of the immigration of Jews in an organized manner to Israel constitutes support to Israel's settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territory and an obstacle to the exercise by the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination,

"1. Reaffirms the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination without external interference;

"2. Calls upon Israel to comply with its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law and to withdraw from the Palestinian and other Arab territories which it has occupied since 1967 by military force, including Jerusalem, in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions, so as to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their universally recognized right to self-determination;

"Gravely concerned at the large-scale establishment by the Israeli Government of settlers, including immigrants, in the occupied territories, which may change the physical character and demographic composition of the occupied territories,

"Taking into account the need to create the stable environment required for progress in the negotiation process following the Peace Conference on the Middle East convened in Madrid on 30 October 1991,

"Convinced that a complete cessation by Israel of its policy of settlement would constitute a meaningful contribution to the creation of that environment,

III.  UNRWA EXPRESSES CONCERN ABOUT WELFARE OF PALESTINIANS,

     CONDEMNS KILLING OF UN NURSE AND CALLS ON ISRAELI

     GOVERNMENT TO HALT USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE

The following press release was issued by UNRWA on 2 February 1993 (see PAL/1790):

"The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Ilter Türkmen, today expressed concern over the situation of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a result of the deteriorating security and economic situation, saying that 'the worsening situation in the Gaza Strip over the last three months is cause for grave anxiety'.

"In the Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis yesterday, Israeli forces used explosives and anti-tank rockets, destroying or damaging 16 houses in search for wanted persons; 26 families consisting of 179 members, were affected by the operation.  The number of homes destroyed and heavily damaged as a result of Israel's policy of using anti-tank rockets during searches for wanted Palestinians has greatly increased in recent months.  Since 1 December 1992, there have been 11 such operations, which have destroyed or heavily damaged 68 homes.

"Over the last few months, there have been more deaths and injuries than at any time in nearly three years.  Since last December, 13 children under the age of sixteen have been killed by security forces and over 250 injured by live ammunition.  With the increase in deaths and casualties in the Gaza Strip in recent months, UNRWA emergency medical services — particularly ambulances and emergency clinics — have treated over 1,000 persons injured in clashes with security forces.  Fatalities in December, during which 17 persons were killed, were the highest since May 1990.  Eight Palestinians have been killed by security forces so far this month, two under the age of sixteen.  In mid-December, 167 Palestinians from Gaza were deported.

"The worsening of the security situation has been compounded by Gaza's deteriorating economy.  In December 1992, Gaza's fragile economy suffered when the Israeli authorities sealed off the Gaza Strip and imposed extensive round- the-clock curfews.  The Agency has estimated that losses in wages alone amounted to about $25 million.  About 40 per cent of Gaza's workforce is without regular employment, the worst job situation in decades.

"The UNRWA's emergency response — in relief, food distribution and medical care — has alleviated some of the growing hardship.  In December, the Agency distributed emergency food rations of flour, rice, cooking oil and sugar to almost half of the families in the Gaza Strip when the closure of the Strip and curfews prevented breadwinners from earning income.  The UNRWA has provided families whose homes have been destroyed with tents, blankets and food."

A further press release was issued by UNRWA on 24 February 1993 (see PAL/1791):

"The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Ilter Türkmen, has condemned yesterday's killing of a United Nations nurse by Israeli troops.  Awad Suradi, 28, was shot in the back of the head by a single bullet as he was providing emergency medical assistance to an injured boy in Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

"Speaking today at UNRWA headquarters in Vienna, Mr. Türkmen said the Agency would lodge a strong protest with the Government of Israel.  He added that it was 'inadmissible that Israeli troops should open fire on United Nations staff, especially medical personnel treating injured persons'.

"The Commissioner-General stated that the Rafah incident on 23 February was part of a pattern of increased use of lethal force.  'We see in the occupied territory, particularly in Gaza, that soldiers are now opening fire more freely', Mr. Türkmen observed.  Nineteen Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since the beginning of February.  The UNRWA has constantly urged the Israeli authorities to refrain from employing unwarranted force.

"The Agency publicly voiced its concern over the welfare of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip less than two weeks ago, noting that there have been more deaths and injuries over the past few months than at any time in nearly three years.  Since 1 December 1992, there have been 39 deaths and more than 1,000 injuries in the Gaza Strip.  Thirteen of the dead have been children under the age of sixteen."
