Recommendations The BADIL Resource Center urges the state of Israel to: • End the discriminatory zoning and planning policies towards Palestinian localities, inside Israel proper, East Jerusalem, and West Bank and Gaza Strip; • Ensure that, with regards to zoning and planning, public power is exercised lawfully, proportionally, fairly, rationally and in a nondiscriminatory and participatory manner; • Establish procedures to ensure adequate housing, rather than adding to the large existing backlog. To the Palestine Liberation Organization: • Promote a rights-based durable solution for displaced persons; • Ratify the Rome Statute and immediately engage the International Criminal Court with the task of examining Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity; • Reject the fragmentation of Palestine and Palestinian communities by establishing a register for all Palestinians worldwide. To Member States of the United Nations: • Ensure that state policies do not support or recognize Israeli practices that violate international humanitarian and human rights law; • Downgrade diplomatic relations with states committing and abetting these offenses; • Freeze the assets of legal and natural persons responsible for violations of international law, namely forced population transfer; • Ensure that United Nations organizations and programs conform to these remedial measures. 57
