A/HRC/RES/58/2 Recalling the assessment of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel that Israel has no intention of ending its occupation and is acting to alter the demography of the Occupied Palestinian Territory through the maintenance of a repressive environment for Palestinians and a favourable environment for Israeli settlers and that it is incrementally annexing the territory,1 Stressing the urgency of achieving without delay an end to the unlawful presence of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, Affirming the obligation of all parties to respect international humanitarian law and international human rights law, Reaffirming the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation in accordance with international law, Recalling that collective punishment, forcible transfer, the targeting of civilians and civilian objects, the use of starvation as a means of warfare and the blocking of access to humanitarian aid constitute war crimes and that incitement to genocide and the commission of genocide and of acts of aggression are international crimes, Deploring plans, policies and actions aimed at displacing the Palestinian people individually or collectively, inside or outside their homeland, or at forced displacement, exile or deportation of any form, under any circumstances and for whatever reason, which constitute a grave violation of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, Stressing that early recovery and reconstruction plans must aim to achieve the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people and ensure their right to return and right to self-determination, including, among other measures, the participation of the Palestinian people in the design and implementation of such plans as a concrete expression of these rights, Emphasizing the obligation of States to investigate and prosecute grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and other serious violations of international humanitarian law, to end impunity, to uphold their obligations, to ensure respect and to promote international accountability, Expressing deep concern that the sale, diversion and transfer of arms and jet fuel increase the ability of Israel, the occupying Power, to commit serious violations, including attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructures, disregard international law and seriously undermine the enjoyment of human rights, Expressing regret at the lack of progress made in the conduct of domestic investigations in accordance with international law standards, and aware of the existence of numerous legal, procedural and practical obstacles in the Israeli and Palestinian civil and criminal legal systems contributing to the denial of access to justice for Palestinian victims and of their right to an effective judicial remedy, Noting the accession by the State of Palestine to several human rights treaties and the core humanitarian law conventions, and its accession on 2 January 2015 to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Recalling the advisory opinion rendered on 19 July 2024 by the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences arising from the policies and practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and from the illegality of the continued presence of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and the Court’s determination, inter alia, that the continued presence of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful and that Israel is under an obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible, and its reaffirmation that the Israeli settlements and the regime associated with them have been established and are being maintained in violation of international law, 1 2 See A/79/232, A/HRC/50/21, A/HRC/53/22 and A/HRC/56/26.
