GENEVA, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk on Wednesday voiced opposition to proposals for annexation and forced transfers in Palestinian territories, warning that such measures could threaten security across the region.
Speaking at an interactive dialogue on his report concerning the Occupied Palestinian Territory at the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council, Turk underscored the need to reject any attempts to normalize unlawful actions.
"We must resist any normalization of unlawful conduct, including proposals for annexation or forced transfer, which could threaten the peace and security of Palestinians and Israelis and of the wider region," he said.
The report highlighted the longstanding deprivation of fundamental human rights in Gaza and the West Bank, citing violations of the right to self-determination, freedom of movement, and an adequate standard of living. ■
