Submitted by crinadmin on

 

Defence for Children International/Palestine Section (DCI/PS) is dedicated to promoting
and protecting the rights of Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
(OPT) - as articulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as in other
international human rights instruments - and to facilitating the creation of an environment which respects children's rights. Among other activities, DCI/PS documents and monitors individual violations of Palestinian children's rights, using a team of fieldworkers around the OPT1.

This statement is designed to supplement the September 2006 report (A/HRC/2/5) and
January 2007 report (A/HRC/4/17) of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human
rights in the OPT, John Dugard, and more specifically, paragraphs (21) and (8)
respectively of these reports, concerning civilian casualties resulting from Israel’s
military actions in the Gaza Strip in the second half of 2006.
