A/HRC/43/21 46. With regard to the responsibility of third States, and as already emphasized by the High Commissioner, despite the incessant calls made by the international community and the support provided to Palestinian and Israeli authorities in their peace efforts, not enough has been done by the international community to that effect.77 In its resolution 2334 (2016), the Security Council stressed that the status quo was not sustainable and that significant steps were urgently needed to stabilize the situation and to reverse negative trends on the ground. In that regard, the Secretary-General has emphasized that a lack of accountability compromised chances for sustainable peace and security, adding that tackling impunity must be the highest priority. 78 The High Commissioner again echoes those calls. 47.
