13.
Deplores the grave violations of multiple peremptory norms by Israel, and calls
upon all States to ensure that their arms exports do not contribute to or benefit from this
unlawful situation;
14.
Calls upon all States to cease the sale, transfer and diversion of arms, munitions
and other military equipment to Israel, the occupying Power, in order to prevent further
violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights, and
to refrain, in accordance with international norms and standards, from the export, sale or
transfer of surveillance goods and technologies and less-lethal weapons, including “dual-use”
items, when they assess that there are reasonable grounds to suspect that such goods,
technologies or weapons might be used to violate or abuse human rights, and recalls the order
of the International Court of Justice of 26 January 2024;
15.
Deplores the persistent non-cooperation of Israel with the special procedures
of the Human Rights Council and other United Nations mechanisms seeking to investigate
alleged violations of international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East
Jerusalem, and calls for its full cooperation with the Council and all its special procedures,
relevant mechanisms and inquiries and with the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights;
16.
Demands that Israel grant immediate access to the Independent International
Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and
Israel, the special procedures of the Human Rights Council and the Office of the High
Commissioner;
17.
Also demands that Israel, the occupying Power, cease all illegal actions in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, including the establishment and
expansion of settlements; the demolition of privately owned and residential structures
belonging to Palestinians, including punitive home demolitions; the forcible transfer of
Palestinian inhabitants and the revocation of residency permits of Palestinians living in East
Jerusalem through various discriminatory laws; excavations in and around religious and
historic sites; and all other unilateral measures aimed at altering the character, status and
demographic composition of the territory as a whole, all of which have, inter alia, a grave
and detrimental impact on the human rights of the Palestinian people and the prospects for a
just and peaceful settlement;
18.
Further demands that Israel, the occupying Power, comply with its legal
obligations under international law, as mentioned by the International Court of Justice in its
advisory opinion rendered on 9 July 2004 and demanded by the General Assembly in its
resolutions ES-10/13 of 21 October 2003 and ES-10/15 of 20 July 2004, 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;
19.
Calls upon Israel to immediately cease demolition or plans for demolition that
would result in the continued forcible transfer or forced eviction of Palestinians, to facilitate
the return of Palestinian families and communities already subjected to forcible transfer or
eviction to their original dwellings and to ensure adequate housing and legal security of
tenure;
20.
Expresses grave concern at the restrictions imposed by Israel that impede the
access of Christian and Muslim worshippers to holy sites in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, including East Jerusalem, and calls upon Israel to ensure non-discrimination on
grounds of religion or belief and the preservation of and peaceful access to all religious sites;
21.
Reaffirms the responsibility of Israel, the occupying Power, to respect the right
to health of all persons within the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
and to facilitate the immediate, sustained and unfettered passage of humanitarian relief,
including the access of medical personnel, the entry of humanitarian equipment, transport
and supplies to all areas under occupation and the granting of exit permits for patients in need
of medical treatment outside the Gaza Strip, and stresses the need for the unhindered passage
of ambulances at checkpoints, especially in times of conflict;
