… Turning to the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, he said the issue deserved immediate attention and action by all Member States, particularly by the “so-called human rights defenders”.  In conclusion, he noted that the right to development was still an important cornerstone of human rights.<\/p><\/div>\n

For many decades, action vis-à-vis human rights had been politicized, she said.  They had been used to bring pressure to bear on States to get political concessions.  Faster economic, social and cultural change over the past two decades had resulted in a sense of hope for one part of mankind, and disappointment for another.  Local and international conflict had meanwhile continued, with all manner of crimes being perpetrated.  The deprivation of the rights of people living in the Occupied Palestinian Territory had been Israel’s perception of the right to development.  The removal by the Israeli authorities of more than 150 cherry trees on 27 September 2007 had been an example of the deprivation of the right to earning a livelihood.  That occupation as such was a violation of human rights, and it had to end.<\/p><\/div>\n
