ADVANCE QUESTIONS TO ISRAEL—ADD 4
NORWAY

High numbers of refugees and asylum seekers have been coming from Africa
to Israel the last years. After the construction of a fence along Israel’s southern
border was completed at the end of 2012, the number of migrants has
substantially decreased. What measures is Israel taking to safeguard the rights
of the individual refugees and asylum seekers who currently live in Israel and
to protect them from racism and incitement?

Israeli human rights organizations report that outdated, partial or non-existent
master plans for certain cities in Israel systematically discriminate the Arab
minority and are infringing on their human rights. What is Israel doing to
improve and advance master plans in the non-Jewish sectors?

As the occupying power in the West Bank, Israel has the duty to safeguard the
daily life and wellbeing of the Palestinian civilians living under occupation,

cities in the Area C?
