Le 29 janvier dernier, l’Etat d’Israël ne s’est pas présenté à son deuxième Examen[1] Périodique Universel lors de la 15e session[2] du Conseil des droits de l’Homme[3]. Craignait-il les recommandations contenues dans le rapport d’Amnesty International[4] ?

Les 193 membres de la communauté internationale ont l’obligation de se présenter tous les 4 ans à l’EPU qui est « l’un des piliers sur lequel s’appuie le Conseil des droits de l’homme pour rappeler aux Etats leur responsabilité (…) de respecter pleinement et de mettre en œuvre tous les droits de l’homme et libertés fondamentales. L’objectif ultime de l’EPU est d’examiner et d’améliorer la situation des droits de l’homme dans tous les pays et de traiter des violations des droits de l’homme, où qu’elles se produisent[5] ». L’EPU a été pensé pour « (…) promote the universality, interdependence, indivisibility and interrelatedness of all human rights; be a cooperative mechanism based on objective and reliable information and on interactive dialogue and ensure universal coverage and equal treatment of all State (…)[6]”.

Traduction JCM depuis agence Ma’an News Agency

Des activistes palestiniens ont créé vendredi un nouveau village de tentes de protestation au nord-ouest de Jérusalem, la deuxième initiative contre la construction de colonies israéliennes quelques semaines.

Les militants ont mis en place trois tentes et un petit bâtiment dans la zone près de Beit Iksa, en nommant le village al-Karama (Dignité).

Des gens du coin disent qu’environ de 400 Palestiniens ont effectué la prière du vendredi en plein air.

Saed Yakrina, un militant du village proche de Beit Ijza, a déclaré que le campement était «un message à Israël et à toutes les sociétés démocratiques pour dire que “nous sommes humains, et nous voulons la paix.”

Des militants de tout le spectre politique, principalement dans les villages voisins, se sont réunis et vont dormir dans les tentes selon l’agence Ma’an.

Beit Iksa, entourée de colonies israéliennes, est situé de sorte qu’il sera entièrement encerclé par le mur de séparation israélien, le coupant de Jérusalem.

Les autorités israéliennes ont ordonné la confiscation de 500 dounams de terres du village il y a trois semaines, et n’autorisent aucun nouveau bâtiment dans la ville, dit Yakrina, notant que les colonies israéliennes étaient toujours en expansion.

«Nous sommes à la recherche d’une vie sans points de contrôle, de murs et des colonies», a-t-il dit.

Les forces israéliennes ont immédiatement fermé le checkpoint militaire à l’entrée de Beit Iksa pour empêcher d’autres militants et sympathisants d’accéder au site de protestation, ont indiqué des témoins.

Mercredi, les forces israéliennes ont démoli le village de tentes de Bab al-Shams, mis en place pour protester contre les projets d’Israël de construire la zone “E1″, coupant la Cisjordanie de Jérusalem.

Le juriste palestinien Mustafa Barghouthi a déclaré vendredi que Bab al-Shams et Al-Karama sont une nouvelle dimension à la lutte palestinienne et que de plus en plus de villages de protestation seraient mis en place.

“L’esprit de résistance populaire diffusé par Bab al-Shams se renforce aujourd’hui dans d’autres e,droits, y compris Izbat al-Tabib et Beit Iksa, ” a déclaré le secrétaire général de l’Initiative nationale palestinienne dans un communiqué.

Un rassemblement a eu lieu à Izbat al-Tabib dans le district de Qalqiliya du nord de la Cisjordanie, vendredi, pour protester contre les projets israéliens visant à démolir une école dans le village.

Le rassemblement a montré que la résistance populaire contre l’occupation israélienne se répand, a dit Barghouthi.

Activists set up new protest village northwest of Jerusalem

JERUSALEM (Ma’an) — Palestinian activists on Friday established a new tented protest village northwest of Jerusalem, the second such initiative against Israeli settlement building in as many weeks.

Activists set up three tents and a small building in the area near Beit Iksa, naming the village al-Karamah (Dignity).

Locals said around 400 Palestinians performed Friday prayers in the open area.

Saed Yakrina, an activist from nearby village Beit Ijza, said the camp was “a message to Israel and all democratic societies that we are human, and we want peace.”

Activists from across the political spectrum, mainly from nearby villages, have gathered and will sleep in the tents overnight, he told Ma’an.

Beit Iksa, surrounded by Israeli settlements, is set to be entirely encircled by Israel’s separation wall, cutting it off from Jerusalem.

Israeli authorities ordered the confiscation of 500 dunams of the village’s land three weeks ago, and do not permit any new building in the town, Yakrina said, noting that Israeli settlements were still expanding.

“We are looking for a life without checkpoints, walls and settlements,” he said.

Israeli forces immediately shut down the military checkpoint at the entrance to Beit Iksa to prevent more activists and supporters from accessing the protest site, witnesses said.

On Wednesday, Israeli forces tore down the tented village Bab al-Shams, set up to protest Israel’s plans to build the “E1″ settlement on the land, severing the West Bank from Jerusalem.

Palestinian lawmaker Mustafa Barghouthi on Friday said Bab al-Shams and al-Karama were a new dimension in the Palestinian struggle and that more protest villages would be established.

“The spirit of popular resistance which Bab al-Shams disseminated is being strengthened today in other areas including Izbat al-Tabib and Beit Iksa,” the secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative said in a statement.

A rally was held in Izbat al-Tabib in the Qalqiliya district of the northern West Bank on Friday to protest Israeli plans to demolish a school in the village.

The rally showed that popular resistance against Israel’s occupation is spreading, Barghouthi said.

 Il y a quatre ans, l’opération Cast lead contre Gaza

4 Years Since Operation Cast Lead

Four years ago today, on 27th December 2008, Israeli Forces launched a large-scale offensive against the Gaza Strip, codenamed Operation Cast Lead. This 23-day long offensive was the most violent offensive since the beginning of Israeli occupation in 1967.

1167 Palestinian civilians, the so-called “protected persons” of International Humanitarian Law, were killed during this offensive, including 318 children and 111 women. Moreover, 5,300 Palestinians were wounded, of whom 1,600 were children. In addition, 2,114 houses (2,864 housing units) in the Gaza Strip were completely destroyed while 3,242 houses (5,014 housing units) were rendered uninhabitable, making approximately 50,000 Palestinians homeless. Public and private infrastructure throughout the Gaza Strip was systematically targeted and destroyed.Numerous investigations and reports by national and international human rights organizations provided compelling evidence indicating the widespread and systematic violation of international law

Four years later the Gaza Strip remains subject to an illegal closure regime, making reconstruction and rehabilitation virtually impossible. The Gaza Strip has been stuck in a time warp, and its civilian population subject to collective punishment.

As confirmed by national and international human rights organizations and the UN Committee of Independent Experts established by the Human Rights Council, it is unambiguously clear that all parties have failed to conduct domestic investigations that are prompt, effective, independent, and in conformity with international law. Furthermore, all parties have failed to prosecute suspected perpetrators of crimes under international law. According to the UN Committee of Independent Experts’ report published on 18th March 2011, all parties’ investigations into alleged war crimes have comprehensively failed to meet the requirements of international standards.The Committee found that Israel failed to investigate high-level officials and cover all allegations. It is noted the only concrete result of these procedures have been a 7 month sentence for the theft of a credit card, a 45 day sentence in relation to the killing of two women carrying white flags, and two 3 month suspended sentences for the use of a Palestinian child as a human shield.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) submitted 1,046 civil complaints(or “damage applications”) to the Compensation Officer in the Israeli Ministry of Defense ,and approximately 490 criminal complaints (on behalf of 1,046 affected individuals) requesting the opening of an investigation to the Israeli Military Prosecution. However, to date, only a handful of responses denoting the opening of an investigation, or simply acknowledging receipt of the complaint, have been received; media sources have reported that other complaints filed by PCHR have been closed, but this has not been officially communicated.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) affirms that all victims’ legitimate right to an effective remedy must be respected. For too long, the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory has been characterised by systematic violations of international law, and pervasive impunity for these crimes. The result has been an escalating cycle of violence, and it is the civilian populations who have been forced to pay the horrific price.All efforts must be undertaken to ensure justice for all victims.

It is essential that the rule of law be restored, and that all suspected violations of international law be investigated, and those responsible held to account.

PCHR:

1. Calls upon the State of Palestine to immediately sign and ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and to lodge a declaration with the Court’s Registrar under Article 11 (2) and 12 (3) of the Statute, accepting the exercise of jurisdiction by the Court from the date of entry into force of the Statute, 1 July 2002.

2. Following the accession of Palestine to the Rome Statute, recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court should initiate an investigation propriomotuin to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity which are committed in Palestine in violation of the Statute, and request an authorization of the Pre-Trial Chamber to proceed with an investigation, pursuant to article 15 of the Statute.

3. Calls upon the international community to support the efforts of the Palestinian people to seek justice for the violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law through use of the principle of universal jurisdiction.

 Now is the time for a military embargo on Israel!

 Now is the time for a military embargo on Israel!

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” –Nelson Mandela

Horrified at the latest round of Israeli aggression against the 1.5 million Palestinians in the besieged and occupied Gaza Strip and conscious of the impunity that has enabled this new chapter in Israel’s decades-old violations of international law and Palestinian rights, we believe there is an urgent need for international action towards a mandatory, comprehensive military embargo against Israel. Such a measure has been subject to several UN resolutions[1] and is similar to the arms embargo imposed against apartheid South Africa in the past.

Israel’s unchecked belligerence and persistent denial of basic human rights and self-determination to the Palestinian people call for a concerted effort by international civil society to force world governments to end the links of complicity. This impunity has allowed Israel to continue its occupation, colonization and denial of Palestinian refugees their UN-sanctioned rights.

While the United States has been the largest sponsor of Israel, supplying billions of dollars of advanced military hardware every year, the role of the European Union must not go unnoticed, in particular its hefty subsidies to Israel’s military complex through its research programs. Similarly, the growing military ties between Israel and the emerging economies of Brazil, India and South Korea are unconscionable given their nominal support for Palestinian freedom.

Military ties with Israel have fueled relentless acts of aggression. Israel continues to entrench its subjugation of Palestinians while provoking or initiating armed conflict with its neighbors in the region.

Israel’s attempt to justify this kind of illegal use of belligerent and disproportionate military force as “self-defence” does not stand up to legal — or moral — scrutiny, as states cannot invoke self-defence for acts that serve to defend an unlawful situation which they have created in the first place[2].

We therefore support the call from Palestinian civil society for an urgent and comprehensive military embargo on Israel as an effective, non-violent measure to stop Israel’s wars and repression and to bring about Israel’s compliance with its obligations under international law. This is now a moral and legal imperative to achieve a just and comprehensive peace.
