On 29 September, during the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, at the General Debate on the human rights situation in Palestine, Associazione Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII (APG23) took the
floor to denounce the escalating violence by Israeli settlers and occupation forces in the West Bank.
In its statement, APG23 echoed the words of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk and drew attention to the situation of communities such as Masafer Yatta, affected by violence, forced evictions, demolitions, burnt houses, destruction of livelihoods, and attacks against those who provide solidarity and support.
Facing the spectre of ethnic cleansing, the appeal is clear: stand by the Palestinian people and communities who are resisting occupation and violence through nonviolent means, end impunity, and fully uphold international law and United Nations resolutions.
