2/17/2024 – Al-Haq is a Palestinian human rights organization based in Ramallah, West Bank. With brave reporters on-the-ground in Gaza, Al-Haq has been collecting and reporting on evidence concerning the daily violations of human rights.
In collaboration with other Palestinian human rights organizations, Al-Haq has sent a joint submission to the United Nations Special Rapporteur underscoring Israel’s mishandling of dead persons and their remains, including victims of potentially extrajudicial executions in Gaza.
As Al-Haq’s writes of its submission to the UN:
The document “highlights the mutilation of Palestinian bodies by the Israeli occupying forces; the withholding of Palestinian bodies, including those of prisoners and detainees; the use of mass graves especially during the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip; and digging of Palestinian graves and cemeteries. The submission further places such draconian policies and practices within the broader context of Israel’s Zionist settler-colonialism and apartheid regime.”
