“Flag March” Violates International Law and UNESCO Resolutions: PCHR Welcomes UNESCO’s Adoption of Resolution Safeguarding Jerusalem’s Historical CharacterThe Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) welcomes the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s unanimously adopting a resolution on Wednesday during the 216th session of its Executive Board that has considered all Israeli measures seeking to change the historical character and legal status of Jerusalem’s Old City and its walls null and void.The resolution and its annexes call on Israel to cease its unilateral violations and unlawful action against Blessed al-Haram al-Sharif and places of worship in Jerusalem’s Old City and walls. The resolution also underscores the significance of protecting Palestinian heritage sites from destruction and falsification, including fraudulently altering their names, threatening the legal and historical status of Jerusalem.The resolution aligns with dozens of resolutions issued by the United Nations (UN) and its bodies, and is in accordance with international law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949.The resolution coincides with heightening daily raids into the holy city in order to change its religious and historical character; the last of which was today in the morning when extremist Jewish groups have raided al-Aqsa Mosque and intend to organize the so-called “flag march” in the afternoon to celebrate the occupation of East Jerusalem with full support of the Israeli government.
PCHR is saying that Jews walking peacefully anywhere in the Old City of Jerusalem violate international law with every footstep. They also claim that those Jews, by merely existing, violate UNESCO resolutions against changing the historical character of Jerusalem.
Apparently, PCHR considers the "historical character of Jerusalem" to be the anomalous 19 years between 1948-1967 when Jordan banned all Jews from entering.
It is truly an Orwellian world where Jews walking, singing and praying in their holy city is considered a violation of international law, and banning Jews from walking in Jerusalem is the apex of human rights.
Not to mention the newspeak of PCHR's claiming that using the historic Hebrew names of sites in Jerusalem is considered "fraudulently altering the names" that Muslims imposed over a millennium later.
According to these Palestinian experts on international law and human rights, Jews are simply not human. There is no other explanation for their official support of explicit discrimination against Jews as human rights.
PCHR is respected and quoted often by international human rights groups like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch. This is hardly a surprise. PCHR hosted papers accusing Israel of "apartheid" even before the infamously antisemitic Durban conference in 2001, and wrote its own paper making that charge in 2011.
HRW and Amnesty look to the terror-linked PCHR as a model for fabricating the next generation of accusations against Israel. Don't be surprised if they soon agree that Jews breathing in Jerusalem violate international law.
After all, they already advocate the forcible ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Jews from all of Judea and Samaria in the name of "human rights."
