HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
57th session
19 March – 21 April 2001
[Excerpt from the statement]
CETIM strongly condemns the harsh and unjust reality imposed on the Palestinian people by the State of Israel. The economic, military and moral pressure inflicted by Israeli policy, as well as arbitrary administrative persecution, continual isolation and the persistent refusal to apply the various UN resolutions, have killed the hope of the majority of Palestinians who believed in the peace process that had been initiated.
