A pile of anonymous decomposing corpses of martyrs
AMAN Coalition calls for holding the occupation accountable for its enforced concealment of information about missing prisoners and martyrs from the Gaza Strip
Ramallah/ The Coalition for Integrity and Accountability (AMAN) called on the United Nations and all human rights organizations to implement an international campaign to hold the occupation accountable for its crimes against humanity, which include the enforced concealment of information about missing prisoners and martyrs in the Gaza Strip, and the failure to disclose their names and numbers in prisons. AMAN emphasizes the right of families to obtain information about their loved ones and conduct proper burial ceremonies for martyrs, in a manner that preserves human dignity, customs and traditions, especially in light of the ongoing genocidal war in the Strip and amid reports confirmed by human rights organizations that the occupation has committed a series of crimes, including forced disappearance, torture, systematic killing in Israeli prisons in cold blood, with deliberate silence.
AMAN also denounced Israel for manipulating world opinion by spreading its misleading colonial narrative, while continuing its crimes throughout Palestine. The latest crime was stealing the bodies of martyrs from the Gaza Strip, and then returning them decomposed and inhumanely to the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza, without a list of names or information explaining the identities of the bodies and where they were killed. This brutal act represents a flagrant violation of human dignity and what is stipulated by international humanitarian law in managing corpses in wars.
On the occasion of the International Day for the Right to Access to Information, which falls on September 28th of every year, AMAN calls on the United Nations, all human rights institutions, international platforms and free peoples to prosecute the occupation in international courts and put an end to the approach of not holding the occupation accountable for its crimes and its continued impunity, warning against dealing with human rights selectively and with double standards, and reminding governments and peoples of the world that rights must be universal and thus emphasizing the close relationship between fighting corruption and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially its commitment to Goal 16, which aims to protect the right to life.
AMAN invites concerned parties to open international investigations into the crimes committed that violate the right to life, and calls on the countries of the world, UN organizations, and civil society organizations interested and specialized in the fields of anti-corruption and human rights to redouble their efforts to stop the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, which targets more than two million people living in the largest prison in the contemporary world. AMAN also encourages all parties to start taking legal action, to diligently implement international law and international humanitarian law to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes, and to ensure that it does not enjoy impunity.
