Interactive Dialogue on High Commissioner’s report on Occupied Palestinian Territory – EU Statement
Mister High Commissioner, We thank you and your Office for your work in upholding human rights and defending international human rights law. We reiterate our support to your mandate and its independence. We support your call to pursue independent investigation, accountability and justice for any grave violations and abuses, as stated in your report. The EU continues to support the Commission of Inquiry and other relevant OHCHR mandates. The EU condemns all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in the whole Occupied Palestinian Territory. We call upon all parties to comply with their obligations under international law, including international human rights law and international humanitarian law, and underline that there must be accountability for violations. The EU recalls the need to fully implement the International Court of Justice orders, which are legally binding and takes note of its advisory opinions. The EU has welcomed the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the announcement of the launch of Phase Two of the Comprehensive Peace Plan to End the Gaza conflict. The EU stands ready to continue to support peace in Gaza, through its humanitarian, security, diplomatic and cooperations tools, and looks forward to the implementation of the Peace Plan in its entirety, in line with relevant international political and legal principles.
