and the occupied Syrian Golan, including through the discontinuation of support for

humanitarian law;

of discriminatory and illegal planning policies and practices that may lead to forcible
transfer, including of Bedouin and herder communities;

Area C of the occupied West Bank are not denied access to, or discriminated against
in the provision of, essential services, including electricity, water and sanitation, and
natural resources, including land for agricultural purposes;
