Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power:
(a)
To reverse the settlement policy in the occupied territories, including East
Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan, and, as a first step towards their dismantlement, to stop

related activities, prevent any new installation of settlers in the occupied territories,
including in East Jerusalem, and discard its E-1 plan;
(b)
To immediately cease construction of the new illegal settlement highway (the
“Begin Highway”) in the neighbourhood of Beit Safafa in occupied East Jerusalem, which
is in clear violation of international law;
(c)
To put an end to the human rights violations linked to the presence of
settlements, especially of the right to self-determination, and fulfil its international
obligations to provide effective remedy for victims;
(d)
To take immediate measures to prohibit and eradicate all policies or practices
that discriminate against and disproportionately affect the Palestinian population in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, by, inter alia, putting an end to
the system of separate roads for the exclusive use of Israeli settlers, who reside illegally in
the said territory, to the complex combination of movement restrictions consisting of the
wall, roadblocks and a permit regime that only affects the Palestinian population, and to the
application of a two-tier legal system;
(e)
To put an end to measures resulting in the territorial fragmentation of the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and which are isolating
Palestinian communities into separate enclaves;
(f)
To take and implement serious measures, including confiscation of arms and
enforcement of criminal sanctions, with the aim of ensuring full accountability for, and
preventing, all acts of violence by Israeli settlers, and to take other measures to guarantee
the safety and protection of Palestinian civilians and Palestinian properties in the Occupied
Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem;
(g)
To bring to a halt all actions, including those perpetrated by Israeli settlers,
harming the environment, including the dumping of all kinds of waste materials in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian
Golan, which gravely threaten their natural resources, namely water and land resources, and
which pose an environmental, sanitation and health threat to the civilian populations;
