"the Palestinian people have been subjected to economic sanctions — the first time an occupied people have been so treated. This is difficult to understand. Israel is in violation of major Security Council and General Assembly resolutions dealing with unlawful territorial change and the violation of human rights and has failed to implement the 2004 advisory opinion of the ICJ, yet it escapes the imposition of sanctions."
— John Dugard, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, *2006*
