Enikezela ingxelo yakhe yamva nje kwi-UN Human Rights Council, uMnu. Falk uthe, kule minyaka idlulileyo, u-Israyeli uye wathatha amanyathelo okuguqula ngokungenakuguqulwa ukubunjwa kwabantu kwindawo ehlala eYerusalem.
"Abemi bakwa-Israyeli baqhubekile nokuthatha amakhaya asePalestina kwaye bagxotha abantu basePalestina kumakhaya abo amashumi eminyaka kunye nezizukulwana, ngelixa abasemagunyeni bakwa-Israel bexhasa izenzo zabo ezingekho mthethweni," uxelele iqumrhu elinamalungu angama-47 ngoku edibana eGeneva.
UMnu.

Ngelo xesha, iindawo zokuhlala zakwa-Israel kwi-West Bank ziye zaqhubeka zanda, waphawula kwingxelo.
Amagosa aphezulu eZizwe eziManyeneyo abize ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwiinyanga zamva nje ukuba kube ngumkhenkce ukwandiswa kweendawo zokuhlala zakwa-Israeli kwindawo ehlaselweyo yasePalestine, elumkisa ngelithi umsebenzi ohlaziyiweyo wokuhlaliswa kwabantu uya kujongela phantsi ukuthembana njengoko iingxoxo ezithe ngqo ze-Israel-Palestine ziye zayeka.

Ucele iBhunga lamaLungelo oLuntu ukuba liqinise iinzame zokukhuthaza u-Israyeli ukuba asebenzisane nesigunyaziso soMmeli oKhethekileyo, kuquka nokuvumela ukufikelela kwimimandla yasePalestina.
Phakathi kwezinye izindululo zakhe, uphinde wacela iBhunga ukuba lenze iinzame zokuba inkundla ephakamileyo ye-UN, iNkundla yezoBulungisa yaMazwe ngaMazwe (ICJ), ivavanye izityholo zokuba ukuhlala ixesha elide kweWest Bank kunye ne-East Jerusalem zinezinto "zobukoloniyali," "ucalucalulo" kunye "nokuhlanjululwa kobuhlanga," kunye nokuqinisa iinzame zokunamathisela iziphumo zomthetho kukusilela kuka-Israyeli ukuphelisa phantse iminyaka emine yokuvalwa kweGaza Strip.
UMnu. Falk usebenze ukususela kwi-2008 ngokuzimeleyo kunye nokungahlawulwanga njengoMthetheli oKhethekileyo kwimeko yamalungelo oluntu kwimimandla yasePalestina ehlala ukususela kwi-1967.
