The Israeli Governments use of house demolition as a punitive measure in response to alleged acts of violence by Palestinians must end immediately, two United Nations experts urged Tuesday, adding that the practice which targets Palestinian homes in both Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory is a violation of human rights law.

All acts of violence require a firm response from the Israeli authorities, and those responsible should be tried before a court of law and sentenced for their crimes, Makarim Wibisono, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, affirmed in a press release, adding, however, that the State cannot go beyond what is sanctioned by international law. Mr. Wibisonos remarks follow the 19 November demolition of the East Jerusalem home of Abd al-Rahman al-Shaludi, the Palestinian man accused of committing last months car attack in Jerusalem that claimed the lives of a 22 year-old woman and a three-month old child. In addition to Mr. Al-Shaludis home, Israeli authorities have slated at least six other homes of Palestinian suspects located in East Jerusalem, Askar refugee camp, and Hebron, for demolition or sealing the practice of completely or partially closing off the rooms of a home with concrete or metal sheeting, prohibiting family members from accessing their homes, at times indefinitely. Meanwhile, following a recent deadly attack against a Jerusalem synagogue, a number of other house demolitions are reportedly being prepared. In the case of Mr. Al-Shaludi, who was shot and killed by Israeli police at the scene of the attack, the demolition of his home in the middle of the night served no other purpose than to punish his innocent parents and five siblings, rendering them homeless, Leilani Farha, the Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, explained. Simply put: the use of house demolition as a punitive measure is a form of collective punishment contrary to international law, she continued. Israel must immediately end its use of this devastating practice. The recent house demolitions come within a context of increasing tensions marked by a number of fatal incidents between Palestinians and Israelis. However, the two Special Rapporteurs warned that an upsurge in demolitions would only add to the frustration and despair felt by the people living under prolonged military occupation, and sow the seeds of more hatred and violence for the future. The only means to stop this cycle of violence is for Israel to place human rights at the centre of its policy-making, Mr. Wibisono concluded.

An array of delays has forced the Chicago Cubs to make contingency plans in the event that construction on the Wrigley Field outfield bleachers isn't completed by the April 5 season opener against the National League Central champion St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs, already under a tight schedule, have been hindered by an aging pipe system under Sheffield Avenue that has prevented construction crews from starting deep foundation work in the bleachers. The work was scheduled to be completed in early October, as City of Chicago water crews continue to work on installing a new water main.

Meanwhile, construction crews continue to perform work on the bleachers, but the speed of the work is dependent on the progress of the installation of the new water main.

Construction also was hindered by unseasonably colder weather last week and high winds Monday that forced work to stop, according to Julian Green, the Cubs' vice president of communications and community affairs.

Because the Cubs traditionally don't draw well for home games in April, bleacher season-ticket holders could be relocated to the grandstand if the bleachers aren't ready.

The Cubs also are considering options for those bleacher season-ticket holders who don't want to sit in the grandstand if the bleacher work insn't completed.

A decision on whether the bleachers will be ready by opening night is expected to occur before March 6, when single-game tickets go on sale.
