The report, Shakir said, "finds that Israel’s sweeping restrictions of the basic rights of Palestinians are unlawful and unjustifiable after 52 years by the exigencies of military occupation."
Shakir, who was deported from Israel last month over alleged support for promoting boycotts, said "Israel cannot continue to justify its two-tier discriminatory regime by the logic of military occupation."
He added, "Israel's obligations must be, regardless of what the state or political regime might be in the future, to fully respect the rights of Palestinians today."
The Israeli government has reportedly dismissed the findings of the report.
