The United Nations special rapporteur for human rights in the Palestinian territories, Makarim Wibisono, submitted his resignation to the president of the Human Rights Council on Monday, citing Israel’s refusal to grant him access to the West Bank and Gaza according to the  New York times..
Mr. Wibisono assumed the post in June 2014, and his resignation will take effect on March 31.
“I took up this mandate with the understanding that Israel would grant me access, as an impartial and objective observer,” Mr. Wibisono said in a statement, adding that he had made repeated written and verbal requests for access.
Israel has refused to cooperate with some other council envoys, including those investigating the recent conflicts in Gaza, according to NYT report.
