At its thirty-second session, the Geneyal Assembly adcpted resolution 32/9L C by wtrich it reneved. the ns.ndate of the Special Connittee, requesting it to continue to investigate Israeli policies and practices in the oecupied territories, to consult as appropriate with the fnternational Co lsittee of the Red Cross in order to ensure the safeguarding of the wel-fare and humar rights of the population of the occupied territories, and to reporb to the Secret8,ry-General- as goon as possible and whenever the need arose thereafter. By the sane resolution the General Assenbly requested the Special Comnxittee to ccntinue to investigate the treatment of civilians in detention in the Arab territories occupied by Israel since I95? and to submit to the secret ary-General a specisL repoft on that subJect as soon as possible and whenever the need arose thereafter' 93, At its neetings fron 13 to 17 March 19?8, the special Comittee decided that, in carrying out its rmndate, special attention would be given to infornation on the treatment of civilians in detention and that the speci€J. report requested by the GeneraJ, Assembly vould be included in its rnain report subnitted under Assenbly resolution 32/91 e. 91+. Since its establishment, the Special Conmittee has exanined inforrnation on the treatment of civilians in detention and it6 findings are reflected in the reports it has subnitted. on its aetivities to date. In its last report (l/32/e$)+), tfre Conrnittee analysed information on treatment of civilians in ctetention in Section IV a.nd. gave a sunmary of the infonmtion that it had received on this subject during the period covered by that report. Ttle Conndttee Save its assesslxent of this information in section vr (conclusions) of the same Teport. ft referred to the caution that it had exercised in the past in expressing its views on the subject of torture of detainees. It had stated then that 'lthe indication that cases of tolture have occurred and continue to occur are very strong and the international conrmunity c annot afford to connive at a continuation of such an abhor"ent practice", It stated that the arrangements fol plotecting prisoners against i1l-treatment and torture were totally ineffective aral provided no protection to prisoners. The Comnittee urged a total revision of existing procedures and reneved effoTts at securing new snal more effective alrangement s. 95, During 197?, attention in tbe international press vas focused on the question of il1-treatment of detainees in the occupiett territories. Ttre Special Cornaittee had received oral eJrd. written testinony oi a :runber of persons who had had direct asnarianoa nf oaeFe trf :ll-treatment or lrho had studied the question in depth. It had invited persons from all shades of opinion bo testify before it to enable it to assess the truth aJld the ertent to which this phenomenon prevailed" in the occupied territories. Reports of worsening prison conditions vere supplemented' by the outbreak of distu.bances in certain prisons and wid.espread hunger strikes, notably that by prisoners hefd at Ashkelon. took note 96, Subsequent to tbe adoption of its last report ' the Speeial Coosittee of announcement s made on 6 December ]g17 by the gpokesman for the Israeli Arql to t+/ 5 5/ J>A English Page 53 :ffecl..that arra.ngements for visits by ICRC delegates to prisoners mder -11:}nrerroFat1on were to be inproved.

The s batement ly the sp;kesnan of the Isrs.e1i Arrgr reads as follows: "Tsrae].

Miss Barnawi described the difficulties in rerations betveen the two categories of detai.nees. Arab detainees do not have the sarne prison conditions as Jewish d.etainees; vorking conditions are different, as are facilities for visits by relatives' studrr and access to reading material. security detainees are puni.shed seve'ely vhen they refuse to und.ertake certain work imposed on then (such as sewing nilitary uniforns ); the punishment consists r.ostly of the suspension fron cfasses and of visits of reratives; harsher treatnent is inflicted by the prison authorities for-lowing compraints by innates to journalists, Requests to meet rcRC delegates are not ahrays granted. strikes were staged as a result of these conditions' These strikes usuarly resulted in the transter of the .leaders to other prisons (Rasroiya odeh was transferred in that context to Gaza prison). 109" iiliss Barnawi gave details about several of her felfow inrnates who were suffering fron poor health and from inad.ecluate medical attention. she in particular to the cases of; I,laryam El_ Shahshir, Rasmiya Odeh, Aiysha"eferred Od.eh, Aida Saad, Rabi'a Abu Shehade, Afifa Bennura, Sayid Abd E11i, Zakya iharraut, Therdse Asaba and i{i rmat Moharmad El He1wat.

The special cornrnittee has noted in past reports that the Government of rsrael bases iis policy of annexation and settlement on the so-ca^lled "rronelandi' doctrine, that is, that the territories occupied in June 1957 form part of the JeT.rish honeland. ihe special coramittee considers re-ga'"dless that, of the political aspects of the r.fiddle iast situation, the Governnent of Israef, by fo1lo\dng such a pclicy, is denying the palestinian people thelr fundanental right to self-det erninati on. The restitution of the palestinia' peoplers fund ament al rights is therefore occupation' contingent upon the end of the rnilitarl, By the s ame token' the Government or rsrael should not persist in denying the to return to the civilians vho imrnediately "ight fled the territories during and alter thp June 1967 rostitities.

A/33/3i6 Engl-ish The Special Conmittee notes that this Folicy is imp1cnFnLed. I argeiy through the financia.I support of the Jewish National Fund - hose purpose it is "to nske the land of IsrseJ- the inal-ienable property of Jewish peopler' (J.N.f', Questions a.nd Ansvers, published by the Jenish National Fund, London). Thus, the Special Conudttee notes that neasures continue to be tshen in the occupied territories designed to consolidate their a:rnexati on. The map attaehed to this report (annex 1) illustrates the extent to vhich settlements have been established by the Israeli authorities in the occupied teritories in pursua,nce of this policy. 129. The Speciaa Connlittee has stated, from its very first relort " that-lhe fundamenta.I violation of human rights lies in the very fact of occupation. This is itseff the direct cause of a d.ay-to-day Fatte.rn affecting the ]ife arrd liberby of the civili.ans in the occupied territories. Their life is marked rn'ith a pattern of incidents involving various forns of violence and repereussions of these incidents. The number of arrests recorded by the Special Conndttee d'uring the period covered by the report Brounts to 1,192. This is but a miniraun figure since it is based on reports in the Israeli press which is subject to censorship- To this nunber must be added those cases that go unreporbed and sever6l- other reports vhich refer to the arrest of "several"" or "dozens'r or "a large nu:nber" of persons (the Conrcittee observed over 20 such reports during the year). The same considerations apply to the information concerning incidents: 319 str)ecific reports of incidents were recorded by the Connxittee. Several of these arrests and trials are the consequence of the incidents referred to, a.Ithough a large proportion of the trials reported concerrred non-violent offences. The Fressure caused by the large number of a?rests on the military tribunals is evidenced by the fact that a second. tribunaJ- has been established in Nabfus to reduce the large nrmber of outstanding trisls.

The Special Coruaittee noLes that during the period' covered by this report, l4 persons were stil1 incarcerated without char8es by virtue of adninistrative order. ' 130. fhe policies and practices followed by the Governnxent af Israef with Tegard to the population are complementary to those followed by the Government of Israel vith regard. to the establi.shment of settfements in these territories. These policies and practices are reflected in the measures ta.lien by Israeli authorities with regard to civi.Iians, These measures, purportedly taken in a,rr effort to maintain ordex, fit more logi ca.11y into the general context of the fsraeli rrhonel anr'lrt noliev - sirce their^ r"ain orrroose is to dernoralize the civiliai population by putting it before the constart reality of being a people under nilitary subjugation. The Special Conmittee has noted several instances Hhich woul d. confirm this view. Ior example, the Con:dttee has noted the practice in nilitary courts of ordering the payrEnt of fines or the serving of imprisonment sentences on parents for security offences connitted by their minor children and for which the children have been tried and convicted. This is contrary to ar-bicles 33 and 6? of the fourth ceneva Convention vhich provid.e for the principle of individual resFonsibility (ari,icle 33) and that th-' penalty should be proportionate to the offence. fhe wast range of securiLy offences of vhich a A/33/356 nnglish .t, age o_L civilian of the occupied territories nay find hinself gui.lty is a reflection of' the arbitrary nature of the roilitary orders purport governing vhich to 1ay dorun the rav his conduct. tr'or exanpl-e, the Special- Conmittee notes that severaf persons are charged and convicted of the offence rmembership organization" of of an iuegal or acts of a non-viorent nature. vague military orders lend themsel-ves to a vide interpretation and render the average civilian the occupi.ed inhabitant of territories fiable to prosecution before the nilitary tribr.mal. such vague offences are usually accompanied. by pr"lnlshment. equauy imprecise provisions as regards For example, a civilian nay be sentenced to up to seven years, imprisonment for 'rmembership of an i[egal organizationrr. subject civitians are stiIl to arbitrary measures such as r-prisais on their property even when they are only suspects. rn its annuar- report for 1977, the rnternationar- the Red c"oss ttThe conmittee of stated: destruction of a ni:nrer or houses, all of them on the West Bank, vere reported. to the fCRC in A9I7, lhese cases consj.sted in the d'estruction of three houses ' three shops, the r^rall of one hcuse, one apartnent and tlro rooms. The rcRc reitexated its request to the rsraeli desist from authorities that they such measures, which,". to arbi,cle 53 of the fourth convention'r' The same "6rrt.ury applies to the treatmlnt of civilians at large; tor exampr-e, at Ranallah, Beit Jata and other towns, the behaviour of rsraeli troops purporting to control student manifestations injuries against the occupation resur-ted in serious to several youngsters. fndeea, u" , of the Beit Jala incidents the Defence "on""qlr.nce Minister disrnissed the miritary cooma-nd.er of the west Bank for aflegedly abetting the faLsification of reports on the behaviour of the Israeli troops in an effolt to hid.e the reality" 131. The Special Connittee noted that the Governnent other of Israel continues r., a.t^n+ measures that reflect its policy of annexation and settlenent or tn"'oJiiiiuo territories' Examples of such measures are contained in reports of exprcpriation of property by various methods, such as the arbitrary nilitary resort to reasons of security for the purposes of the establishnent of settlements, as has been the case in the El-Bireh area and severar parts of the northern Another west Bank. exarnple of such measures is refrected in trre exptoitation of the naturar- resources of the occupied territories, such as that of the petroleum resources of the sinai and that of the water-tab1e of the northern west Bark from which the occupying Pover currently takes more than half of its water requirements. 132' The speci€f conmittee is of the view that the policy of the covernment of rsrael referred to in the preced.ing paragraphs has provoked a patte"n of resistance on the part of the civilian population. The trequency of the occurrence of incid'ents, amp]y iuustrated in section rv c" refr-ects the ci.vilian population's deternination to oppose thi.s fsrael,i policy axd to assert its right to self_ detennination. The resistarce thus r"oir."t.a produces popul-ation u' ever-increasing prison ' In section V, the Special- Cornnittee sets out the information received. by it on prison conditions and" on the treatment of d.etainees. This information shows that prison conditions in general have continued to deteriorize; there is no evidence, on the other hand' of efforts at inprovement. The period-ic expressions of concern by which certain rsraeli officials (refl-ected acknolrr-edge the ad.verse prison canditions in sect, v) trave not resJted in any measures improve being taken to them. leports continue to reach the special corrurittee of serious over_ crowding and lack of adequat e medical attentioi.
