United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 In office June 2014 - 31 March 2016

Makarim Wibisono (born 8 May 1947) is an Indonesian diplomat who assumed the mandate of United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 in June 2014 in succession to Richard Falk.

Following Israel's refusal of permission for Makarim Wibisono to access the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) in 2014 and again in 2015, Wibisono resigned the mandate on 4 January 2016:

“I reluctantly wish to pass the baton to a successor, selected by the Human Rights Council. It is my sincere hope that whoever succeeds me will manage to resolve the current impasse, and so reassure the Palestinian people that after nearly half a century of occupation the world has not forgotten their plight and that universal human rights are indeed universal.”
