Turkey<\/u> … The agony of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons required attention and the expanding settlements remained a major obstacle to the revitalisation of the peace process.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Jordan<\/u> … agreed with the High Commissioner that the Israeli occupation power was continuing with its human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories, denying the Palestinian people their right to self determination and setting up its independent State.  Israel’s settlement building policy and its arrests and deliberate killings among others were policies against international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tunisia<\/u> expressed its concern for Palestinians.  It stressed that all possible support should be given to those whose human rights were threatened by economic crisis and the subsequent danger of xenophobia. …<\/p><\/div>\n
