Ramallah (UNA/WAFA) - Since October 2003, XNUMX, the occupation has been committing war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and has persisted in its grave violations against citizens in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, to the point of complete squandering of human rights.
This day marks the day on which the General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, which coincides with the gross violations committed by the occupation against our people.
In 1948, the United Nations declared December XNUMXth as Human Rights Day, which later became an annual commemoration. At that time, only a few months had passed since the Nakba that befell the Palestinians.
But after 76 years, a high percentage of Palestinians still do not receive the minimum of their natural rights, which were approved by the United Nations in the Declaration of the Human Rights Charter. Israel, which completed its control over all of historical Palestine in 1967, is today between the Palestinians and their natural rights, which have almost been taken away from them.
In reality, not a day goes by for the Palestinians without documenting violations against them, whether through killing, arrest, torture, demolition, or seizure of property.
The occupation is adopting collective punishment against the Palestinians in the West Bank, by setting up more than 800 fixed military checkpoints (not including sudden checkpoints), which vary in shape and type between stone and earthen barriers, in addition to about 150 military iron gates that close off residential areas, trap them behind them, and paralyze their movement. This suffering has doubled after the war on the Gaza Strip, as the checkpoints have been transformed into prisons and means of abusing, oppressing, and taking revenge on citizens.”
One of the basic rights of the Palestinians that the occupation works to violate on a daily basis is the right to freedom, as daily arrests increased after October 7, 2023, as the total number of arrests in the West Bank reached more than (12) thousand arrests, which included all segments of Palestinian society, in addition to the arrest of dozens of Palestinian workers, and thousands from Gaza, and until now it is not possible to identify all their numbers and identities accurately, as the crime of enforced disappearance continues to be carried out against them.
