Israel’s discriminatory administration of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem

INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXT

1. This thematic report considers the human rights situation in the occupied West Bank, including East
   Jerusalem, with a focus on Israel’s discriminatory administration there in violation of international
   law, including Article 3 of the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
   Discrimination (ICERD). The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has raised
   concerns of discrimination against Palestinians for decades, alongside other violations of
   international humanitarian law and international human rights law. The report does not reflect the
   situation in Gaza, which is documented in other reports.
