For the Fifty-Seventh Session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights

19 March – 27 April 2001

In light of the devastating consequences of Israel’s military siege and economic blockade in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) from 28 September 2000 to the present, the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) urges the Commission on Human Rights to take immediate action to protect the well-established international rights of the Palestinian people. In particular, CESR urges the Commission to ensure effective international intervention by adopting the concrete follow-up actions recommended in the recent draft report of the human rights inquiry commission.
