GENERAL E/CN.4/1991/3 26 June 1990 ENGLISH Original: ARABIC COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS Forty-seventh session Item 12 of the provisional agenda QUESTION OF THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO COLONIAL AND DEPENDENT COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES Note verbale dated 1 May 1990 from the Permanent Mission of Lebanon to the United Nations Office at Geneva addressed to the Centre for Human Rights 1. The Permanent Mission of Lebanon to the United Nations Office at Geneva presents its compliments to the Centre for Human Rights and has the honour to inform the Centre that, on 9 April 1990, Israeli occupation forces and the militia known as the "South Lebanon Army", which is collaboratinq with them, evacuated 150 male and female students from the school in the village of Tayreh in occupied southern Lebanon, which was then blown up by military demolition squads, thereby causing a large fire that would have led to a catastrophe but for the intervention of the Irish battalion serving with the United Nations emergency forces, which extinguished the fire. 2. The Lebanese Government, while strongly condemning that arbitrary act which prevented 150 students from pursuing their regular studies, regards it as a further example of the Israeli practices that are violating the most fundamental human rights in occupied southern Lebanon. The Lebanese Government also regards it as a manifestation of blatant disregard for the international will that was recently expressed in Commission on Human Rights resolution 1990/54 of 6 March 1990, in which the Commission called upon Israel to cease its arbitrary practices, to put an end to its violations of GE.90-12353/6723AE/CN.4/1991/3 paqe 2
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a formal document from the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, addressing a specific issue related to human rights violations in occupied southern Lebanon. The content focuses on the evacuation and destruction of a school, affecting 150 students, and the Lebanese Government's condemnation of Israeli practices. Given the context and the emphasis on human rights, it seems likely that the text is related to the protection of individuals and their fundamental freedoms.
