Legal institution likens "Switzerland document" to "Declaration of
Indulgence"

Occupied Jerusalem - Al-Haq legal institution, catering for Palestinian
human rights, yesterday issued a detailed report including its legal remarks
on the so-called "Switzerland document" and focusing on its important
articles.

The report, a copy of which was made available to PIC correspondent, noted
that numerous attempts were tabled in the past years to settle the Palestine
cause but all ended up in failure and caused more suffering and human rights
violation in lines of the Palestinian people.

Al-Haq attributed such failures to the fact that those agreements ignored
the basis and principles of the international law and human rights in
addition to international resolutions that guaranteed the Palestinian people
's inalienable Palestinian rights atop of which came self-determination and
right of return.

The institution said that the occupation authorities continued to evade
their commitments in accordance with the international and humanitarian laws
as the international community was not serious in obliging those authorities
with any binding responsibilities.

The institution, which noted that the Switzerland document had many other
yet undeclared addendums, described it as a "Declaration of Indulgence" that
forgave Zionist crimes and surrendered the Palestinian refugees' right of
return and compensation.
