IPHRC called upon the United Nations, OIC Member States and the international community at large to provide urgently needed humanitarian assistance and services to the Palestinian people in Gaza and called upon the UN Security Council to take concrete and immediate actions to lift Israel’s unjust blockade /siege of Gaza strip so as to allow flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from the Gaza Strip, in accordance with international humanitarian law. The Commission also welcomed the outcome resolution adopted by the 21st Special Session of the Human Rights Council on the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, on 23 July 2014, which strongly condemns the ongoing Israeli military action as asystematic and gross violation of international human rights and humanitarian law. It also fully supported the core objectives of the resolution that calls for establishment of a Commission of Inquiry, international protection for the Palestinian people and resumption of the meeting of the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention. While calling for this resolution’s immediate and full implementation, the Commission reiterated its full support to the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and self-defence in the wake of foreign occupation and urged international community in particular major political powers to do all they can to put an end to the ongoing spiral of death and destruction in Gaza. Only a just resolution of the Palestinian question, which is well established in various UN resolutions i.e. creation of a sovereign state of Palestine with Al-quds Al-sharif as its Capital can bring peace in the region and would help a two State solution living side by side in peace and security, the Commission added. --SPA 14:18 LOCAL TIME 11:18 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
