Background
Israel, which ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights in 1992, has systematically refused to extend its application to Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) living under Israeli control. Such refusal is consistent with Israel’s longstanding policy of openly rejecting application of universal international law principles to its treatment of Palestinians.
