PALESTINE10000

Strategy - Ken O'Keefe - Coordinator

Official Advisors * Legal * Human Rights Injury Reports * Economic * Events * Demonstrations * Direct Actions

Official Adviser Responsibilities - Each PALESTINE10000 Official Adviser must approve of the Mission Statement 100%. In addition advisers are responsible for fully reviewing the Strategy of the PALESTINE10000 Action Plan, provide relevant recommendations and ultimately endorse the strategy. Moving forward advisers are responsible for ongoing review of PALESTINE10000 Official Reports which will be sent to all advisers once monthly leading up to the action. One month prior to the action Official Reports will become more frequent and once the action has begun the reports will likely be daily. Urgent matters that require any change in strategy will be marked 'URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED' and sent directly to all Official Advisers for immediate review. In cases where action leaders must act without hesitation and advisers have not been able to review and therefore endorse the change of strategy this will be noted for the record. Any objection or dissent by Official Advisers will be respected and wherever possible these objections will result in appropriate revisions to the action strategy.

This action is based on true law as opposed to the "colour of law" which has historically been manipulated by the powerful minority at the expense of the disempowered masses. This action has become necessary because the application of law has not occurred and accordingly no legal remedy has resulted; the injured parties therefore continue to increase. The PALESTINE10000 Action is in fact a citizen initiated legal remedy. The PALESTINE10000 Action ensures a halt to all injuries by addressing the root cause of the problem which is so profoundly articulated in the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR);

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
PREAMBLE - Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,...'

Accordingly we recognize the absence of economic opportunity, the denial of the right to travel, denial of water rights, extended 24hr curfews, Olive Tree and house demolitions, intentional destruction of Palestinian infrastructure and the Israeli Apartheid Wall as undeniable forms of collective punishment that do grave injury to the cause of justice and peace. We acknowledge indefinite detention without due process of law, rocket attacks in civilian areas and extra judicial killings as state sponsored "terrorism" according to the legal definition of the word. We agree that individual acts of terrorism do not justify state sponsored collective punishment or terrorism. Furthermore, we reject collective punishment and terrorism and identify it as the true cause of Israel's lack of "security." The PALESTINE10000 therefore are acting to preserve and protect both Israeli and Palestinian life by eliminating the source of the vast majority of violence in the region.

Our success relies on effectively ensuring that the 'inalienable rights of all members of the human family' within Palestine and Israel are respected without exception. And the PALESTINE10000 witnesses make this objective all but guaranteed by respecting and assuring respect for International Human Rights Law. Specifically we compel respect for the following;

Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples

The 4th Geneva Convention Declaration Regarding the Occupied Palestinian Territory
2. The participating High Contracting Parties express deep concern about the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the field. They deplore the great number of civilian victims, in particular children and other vulnerable groups, due to indiscriminate or disproportionate use of force and due to lack of respect for international humanitarian law.
5. The participating High Contracting Parties stress that the Fourth Geneva Convention, which takes fully into account imperative military necessity, has to be respected in all circumstances.
6. The participating High Contracting Parties see the need to recall basic humanitarian rules with regard to persons taking no active part in the hostilities, which shall be treated humanely without any discrimination, and to recall the prohibition at any time and in any place whatsoever of acts of violence to life and person, torture, outrages upon personal dignity and of arbitrary and extra-judiciary executions.
8. The participating High Contracting Parties call upon the parties to the conflict to ensure respect for and protection of the civilian population and civilian objects and to distinguish at all times between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives. They also call upon the parties to abstain from any measures of brutality and violence against the civilian population whether applied by civilian or military agents and to abstain from exposing the civilian population to military operations.
12. The participating High Contracting Parties call upon the Occupying Power to fully and effectively respect the Fourth Geneva Convention in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and to refrain from perpetrating any violation of the Convention. They reaffirm the illegality of the settlements in the said territories and of the extension thereof. They recall the need to safeguard and guarantee the rights and access of all inhabitants to the Holy Places.
13. The participating High Contracting Parties call upon the Occupying Power to immediately refrain from committing grave breaches involving any of the acts mentioned in art. 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, such as willful killing, torture, unlawful deportation, willful depriving of the rights of fair and regular trial, extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly. The participating High Contracting Parties recall that according to art. 148 no High Contracting Party shall be allowed to absolve itself of any liability incurred by itself in respect to grave breaches. The participating High Contracting Parties also recall the responsibilities of the Occupying Power according to art. 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention for the treatment of protected persons.
14. The participating High Contracting Parties also call upon the Occupying Power to refrain from perpetrating any other violation of the Convention, in particular reprisals against protected persons and their property, collective penalties, unjustified restrictions of free movement, and to treat the protected persons humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, color, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.

As part of our strategy to affect respect for inalienable human rights we will require every PALESTINE10000 participant to log in writing any and all human rights injuries they observe. These injuries will be logged on standardized P10000 forms and added to an ongoing data base and posted on our web site. If useful the documented injuries will be supplied for legal action(s). (make standard 'Human Rights Injury Report' forms)
