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 the dismantlement of the
settlement enterprise, to stop immediately the expansion of existing settlements, including
so-called natural growth and related activities, to prevent any new installation of settlers in
the occupied territories, including in East Jerusalem, and to discard its “E-1” plan;
(b)
To put an end to all of the human rights violations linked to the presence of
settlements, especially of the right to self-determination, and to fulfil its international
obligations to provide effective remedy for victims;
(c)
To take immediate measures to prohibit and eradicate all policies and
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, the application of a two-tier legal system that has facilitated the establishment
and consolidation of the settlements, and other violations and forms of discrimination;
(d)
To cease the requisition and all other forms of unlawful appropriation of
Palestinian land, including so-called “State land”, and its allocation for the establishment
and expansion of settlements, and to halt the granting of benefits and incentives to
settlements and settlers;
(e)
To put an end to all measures and policies resulting in the territorial
fragmentation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and which
are isolating Palestinian communities into separate enclaves and changing the demographic
composition of the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
(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 population;
(h)
To cease the exploitation, damage, cause of loss or depletion and
endangerment of the natural resources of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East
Jerusalem, and of the occupied Syrian Golan;
9.
Welcomes the adoption of the European Union Guidelines on the eligibility
of Israeli entities and their activities in the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967 for
grants, prizes and financial instruments funded by the European Union since 2014;
10.
Encourages all States and international organizations to continue to actively
pursue policies that ensure respect of their obligations under international law with regard
to all illegal Israeli practices and measures in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including
East Jerusalem, particularly Israeli settlements;
