To the Relevant Bodies of the United Nations: • Thoroughly review Israel’s policies, including the permit regime, in Israel proper and the occupied Palestinian territory, through the appropriate lens of forced population transfer, and thus constituting a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and both a war crime and crime against humanity under the Rome Statute; • Condemn Israel’s policies, including the permit regime, for the resulting widespread and severe deprivation of human rights suffered by Palestinians • Develop and implement effective measures to bring Israel into compliance with its obligations to international humanitarian and human rights law, and particularly address Israel’s arbitrary and discriminatory permit regime; • Examine Israel’s permit regime as one of the mechanisms of Israeli institutionalized discrimination/apartheid that distinguishes between Israeli Jews and Palestinians in a multi-tiered system of rights encompassing Israel proper and the occupied Palestinian territory; • Reaffirm the fundamental rights of refugees and internally displaced 85
