The Special conrnittee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Populabion of the Occupied Terlit.ories has the honour !o transnit to you herewith its twenty-first report, prepared in accordance with General Assembly resolutions concerning the Speciat Cornmittee and, in particular, resolution 2443 (xxIII) of 19 Decenber 1968, by which the Special Committee was established, and resolution 43/58 A of 6 December 1988, the latest resolution by which the Generaf Assembly renelred its mandate. This reporL covers the period from 26 August 1988, the date of the adoption of the teentieth report of the Special Corunittee, to 25 August 1989. The rePort is based on oral information received by the Special Conunittee through testimonies of persons having first-hand experience of the hwnan rights situation in the occupied territories. as welL as written information gathered frorn various sources. Written information concerning the period from 26 August 1988 to 31 March 1989 is reflected i4 the periodic report r.rhich the Special CorEnittee presented to you oD 7 June 198q (A/44/352) in accordance with paragraphs 19 and 20 of General Assenbly resolucion 43/58 A. From among these oral and writt.en sources of information, che Special conmittee has included in its reports relevant excerpts and sununaries' For the purpose of collecting oral testinonies the Special Comnittee again organized hearings ttrat were held in Damascus. Amman and Cairo, The Special Connittee continued to tnonitor staternents by menbers of the Government of Israel refl.ecting the policy of that Government in the occupied territorie6 and rePorts on measures taken to impLement that policy, The Special Corunittee further not.ed the letters addressed to you and to lhe President of the Security Council during the Period of this report reLating to the nandate of the Special Cornmittee, circulated as documents of the General Assembly and the Security Council, and received inforrnation frorn organizations and individuals otr various aspecLs of the situation in the occupied territories. In carrying out its mandate, the Special Conmittee benefited fron the co*operation of the Governments of Egypt, Jordan and the Syrian Arab Republic and from the co-operation of Palest.inian representatives, The Government of IsraeI has conLinued to ignore requests for co-operation addressed to it. His Excellency Mr. Javier P6rez de Cu6tlar Se c re tary-Ceneral of the United Nations New York a/ 44/ 599 English Page 5 In preparing its report the Special Corunittee has attenpted to puE before you a composite piceure of the reality in the occupied territories as it affect,s the human rights of the civilian popuLation. By this Letter the SpeciaL Cornrnittee wi.shes to draw your attentj.on to a nunber of aspects thaE deserve particular nention. The infornation contained in the present report reflects the further deterioration, as a result of 20 months of continuous violence and unrest in the occupied ter!itories, of an already grave hunan rights situation. The uprising of the Palestinian population against occupat.ion, motivated by an accumulation of harassnent, hufiiliation and frustraEion, stens fron the annexation policy inpLementetl by the Goverrunent of Israel since 1967, lrhich has broughC along an unprecedented leveL of viol.ence and unrest in the telritories. The period under considelation has been marked by a further increase in the frequency aud intensity of daily incidents, provoking the death of hundreds of civilians of alf ages caused by gun-fire, beating, electrocuLion, burning, gas inhalation or other causes. Sevelal thousand palestinians, including very young children, women and o1d people, trave been injured in clashes that have occurred practically every day and in several locatities, nostly in the context of widespread demonstrations, stone-throwing and the throwing of petrol botnbs, transport and commercial strikes. and raids by security forces in order to carry out scores of arrests, collect taxes, renove Palestinian flags and impose curfews or seal off eutire areas, sonetimes for prolonged periods. fsraeli settlers have taken an increasingly active part in this scheme of repression by creating vigilante interveneion forces and waging raids of "retaliation and iDtinidation" against Palest.inian villages. Other serious infringements of fundanental rights and freedona have included a noticeable increase in the deportations of Pa.lestinians from Che occupied territories, which have taken place repeat.eilly in violation of relevant provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention, severe lirnitations inposed on the fleedom of expression, of association and of worship and the prolonged closure of educational instit.utions. The miLitary justice system in force in the occupied territories bas further deteriorated. It neither provides detained Palestinians with adequate legal guarantees lror ensures the right to a fair erial, Severaf thousands of arrested Palestinians, among then minors antl women, continue to be ifiprisoned, often in profonged adninistrative detention in the occupied territories, or even inside Israel itself, they are denied humane prison conditionsi their situation is aggravated by the great increase in the nurnber of detainees, and they endure serious physical and psychological hardships often resulting in riots and hunger strikes that are severely repressed. The Special Conmittee has endeavoured, withir the constraints anil self-restrictions imposed by the financial. situation of the United Nations, to provide in its perioalic report (A/44/352, ard the present twenty-first report a faithful picture of the situation of hwnan rights in the occupied territories. A/ 44/ 599 English Page 6 In vielt of the grave circumstances prevailing in the occupieal territ.ories. the Special Comrnittee is croncerned that the internalionaf community has thus far not been able to adopt effective neasules Eo protect the human rights of the civilian Population, It reiterates its sincere hope that the present report may contribute to further mobilizing the international communiEy in Ehe search of a sofution that wouLd all.eviate the PLight of the civilians in the occupied territories and secure the full enjo]'rnent of their rights and fleedorns. Accept, Sir, on behalf of rny colfeagues and ou ny own behalf, the assurances of our highest consideration.

    Two Days in Palestine,’ Was Written in April 1989, Soon After a Brief Trip to the Occupied Territories with Some Colleagues

    Note The following essay, ‘Two Days in Palestine,’ was written in April 1989, soon after a brief trip to the occupied territories with some colleagues. It was published in two parts in the August 1989 (pp. 11–18) and September 1989 (pp. 21–27, 36) issues of The Message International (New York), the monthly magazine published by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). The editors, in their wisdom, changed the title to ‘In the Eye of the Intifada, A Muslim’s Journey to the Land of Oppression;’ they also added pictures and inserts of their own. Here is the original text, with some minor corrections. The first Intifada began in December 1987 and is generally considered to have continued till the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. During that time Israeli security forces killed 1070 Palestinians in the Occupied Territories (including East Jerusalem), including 237 minors; in addition 54 Palestinians, including 13 minors were killed by Israeli civilians. The Israeli casualties at the hands of the Palestinians during the same time were 47 civilians, including 3 minors, and 43 army personnel.

    Assessing the Impact of Potential Climate Change on Rainfed Agriculture in Jenin District

    Birzeit University Faculty of Graduate Studies Institute of Environmental and Water Studies Assessing the Impact of Potential Climate Change on Rainfed Agriculture in Jenin District M.Sc. Thesis By Baha' Mohammad Hamarsheh Supervisor: Dr. Maher Abu-Madi Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Masters Degree in Water and Environmental Engineering at Birzeit University, Palestine. Birzeit University 2010 Dedication To my dear parents, brothers, sisters and friends Abstract Many studies and researches have been conducted all over the world in order to analyze and study the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector specially the rainfed agriculture. Moreover, the potential impacts of climate change have not been quantified at local level yet. Based on this fact, this study aims to evaluate and study the potential impact of climate change on rainfed agriculture in Jenin district. Jenin has been chosen because it is considered one of the largest agricultural areas in West Bank and it has large agricultural activities. The district contributes with about 16.2% of the agricultural production in the Palestinian market. The analysis has been conducted using computer programming (CropWat) to estimate the change in yield reduction with increasing temperature (1, 2 and 3° Celsius) and decreasing precipitation (10, 20 and 30 %). The results show that with increasing temperature by 1 °C for wheat (as example) yield reduction changes by (35.7%), and for T+2 °C and T+3 °C the changes rate were (36.6 %) and (37.3 %) respectively taking into consideration no changes in the precipitation. But if all the climate parameter has changed it will be more significant; (41.7 %) the changes will be, if combined the increase in temperature (+3 °C) and reduction in precipitation (-30%).
