to end the protracted Israeli military occupation of the Palestinian territory
since 1967 and establish the State of Palestine’s sovereignty over the Palestinian
territory; call on the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Geneva Conventions to
intervene and ensure that the occupying Power uphold the Geneva Conventions,
honour relevant legal obligations, and enforce international conventions, to
which it is a party, to the oPt, including East Jerusalem; and demand that the
United Nations intervene seriously to put an end to Israel’s increasing day-today violations and take necessary measures to provide protection to Palestinians
across the oPt. Palestine will exert efforts and take immediate and urgent actions
and interventions to bring to an end to the policies of home demolition, forced
displacement, and eviction of Palestinians, ensuring they are not expelled out
of their homes and demonstrating respect for the principles of IHL. It will call on
the Human Rights Council to establish a fact finding commission to investigate
Palestinian human rights abuses by the Israeli occupying authorities and their
impact on the ability of the State of Palestine to fulfil its international obligations
following accession to human rights conventions. In addition to ensuring that
relevant departments throughout Palestinian ministries and institutions work
seriously towards monitoring and documenting Israeli practices and violations
of human rights as a prelude to file a case to the ICC, Palestine will make efforts
to empower Palestinians access water sources and control natural resources to
ensure an adequate standard of living, achieve development, and enjoy human
rights throughout the oPt. While it follows up with and provide the Permanent
International Commission of Inquiry with data on Israeli practices and systematic
violations of Palestinian human rights. Jurisdiction of the Commission also
extends to Jerusalem and West Bank, the State of Palestine will exert pressure
at the international level to dismantle Israeli discriminatory laws, policies, and
practices, which consolidate Israel’s racist apartheid regime, cease assistance that
maintain and work jointly towards putting an end to this regime. To this effect,
diplomatic, cultural and trade relations with Israel, the occupying Power, will be
severed. Israel’s noncompliance with International Law will be brought to an end.
