| A letter to the Diplomatic Missions in PA |

The Right To Enter Campaign sent an open letter to the Diplomatic Missions in PA about the Israeli restrictions on movement, access and residency.
Dear Sir,
As you may recall, from time to time our Campaign has met with members of the diplomatic community to exchange information and evaluate Israel’s restrictions on movement and access in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), including Jerusalem, and Israel’s restriction and denials of residency status.
As a grassroots campaign we have concentrated our efforts on monitoring developments on these issues; documenting their impacts on directly affected persons, families, service institutions and businesses; clarifying their broader impacts on Palestinian social and economic rights; and assessing their lawfulness in international law. Our concerns are focused on Israel’s restrictions of movement and access to and within the oPt, which, in fact and law, must be distinguished from Israel’s restrictions on foreign nationals’ entry into Israel. |

The undersigned organisations reiterate the demands made by UN representatives for an immediate international investigation into the death of Arafat Jaradat with a view to holding those responsible for his death accountable. |
