A/HRC/RES/25/29
2012 for a prompt and independent investigation into all cases of death custody, and also
calls upon Israel to release any Palestinian prisoner whose detention is not in accordance
with international law;
14.
Demands that Israel cease its policy of transferring prisoners from the
Occupied Palestinian Territory into the territory of Israel, and respect fully its obligations
under article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention;
15.
Urges Israel to ensure that any arrest, detention and/or trial of Palestinian
children is in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, including by refraining
from holding criminal proceedings against them in military courts that, by definition, fall
short of providing the necessary guarantees to ensure respect for their rights and that
infringe upon their right to non-discrimination;
16.
Demands that Israel, the occupying Power, cease all of its settlement
activities, the construction of the wall and any other measures aimed at altering the
character, status and demographic composition of the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
including in and around East Jerusalem, all of which have, inter alia, a grave and
detrimental impact on the human rights of the Palestinian people and the prospects for a
peaceful settlement;
17.
Also demands that Israel, the occupying Power, comply with its legal
obligations under international law, as mentioned in the advisory opinion rendered on 9
July 2004 by the International Court of Justice and as demanded in General Assembly
resolutions ES-10/15 of 20 July 2004 and ES-10/13 of 21 October 2003, and that it
immediately cease the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
including in and around East Jerusalem, dismantle forthwith the structure situated therein,
repeal or render ineffective all legislative and regulatory acts relating thereto, and make
reparation for all damage caused by the construction of the wall, which has had a grave
impact on the human rights and the socioeconomic living conditions of the Palestinian
people;
18.
Calls upon Israel to immediately cease any demolitions or plans for
demolitions that would result in the forcible transfer or forced eviction of Palestinians,
particularly in the vulnerable areas of the Jordan Valley, the periphery of Jerusalem and the
South Hebron Hills, to facilitate the return of those Palestinian communities already
subjected to forcible transfer or eviction to their original dwellings, and to ensure adequate
housing and legal security of tenure;
19.
Urges Israel to ensure that water resource allocation in the Occupied
Palestinian Territory is not discriminatory and does not result in water shortages
disproportionately affecting the Palestinian population of the West Bank, and to take urgent
steps to facilitate the restoration of the water infrastructure of the West Bank, including in
the Jordan Valley, affected by the destruction of the wells of local civilians, roof water
tanks and other water and irrigation facilities under military and settler operation since
1967;
20.
Deplores the illegal Israeli actions in occupied East Jerusalem, including
home demolitions, evictions of Palestinian residents, excavations in and around religious
and historic sites, and all other unilateral measures aimed at altering the character, status
and demographic composition of the city and of the territory as a whole;
21.
Expresses grave concern at:
(a)
The restrictions imposed by Israel that impede access of Christian and
Muslim worshippers to holy sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East
Jerusalem, and calls upon Israel to include guarantees for non-discrimination on grounds of
religion or belief as well as for the preservation and peaceful access to all religious sites;
