Egypt urges UN human rights commission to denounce Israeli violations

Egypt has urged the United Nations Human Rights Commission to denounce the Israeli human rights violations in Palestine, the Syrian Golan and Lebanese Shebaa Farms.

These remarks came in Egypt's statement which was delivered by Egyptian Chief Delegate to the UN in Geneva Ambassadress Na'ela Gabr at the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Commission.

Israel is committing flagrant human rights violations in the Palestinian lands, breaking all international humanitarian laws, according to the Egyptian statement.

The Israeli policy and practices are exposing Israel's pretexts on defending itself, according to Gabr, who wondered what kind of self-defence was that which allowed the killing of children and shelling or residential areas and schools.

The Israeli practices are not self-defence but full-fledged war between the occupation forces resisting the occupation, said Gabr.
