COMMISSION DES DROITS DE L’HOMME DES NATIONS UNIES
59ème session, 17 Mars – 25 Avril 2003, 31 mars 2003
Depuis la dernière session de la Commission des droits de l’homme, malgré vos recommandations, notamment sur l’expansion et l’implantation de colonies dans les territoires occupés palestiniens et la cessation de toute violation du droit humanitaire, la situation dans les territoires occupés palestiniens demeure tragique. Les violations flagrantes des droits de l’homme et du droit humanitaire perdurent en toute impunité.
In accordance with international law, the ICJ urges the UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights to further press for the regulation or prohibition of military courts as essential for the proper administration of justice, right to fair trial and eradication of impunity.
