Recommendations Based on the obligations of third party states, BADIL calls for, • The fulfillment of Common Article 1 of the Fourth Geneva Convention to take all available measures to halt Israel’s forcible transfer of Palestinians inside the oPt, including the transfer resulting from the denial of natural resources and services; • The fulfillment of Article 146 of the Fourth Geneva Convention to search for individuals present in their respective territory who have materially participated in the forcible transfer of Palestinians and to either bring proceedings against such persons in their national courts under the principle of universal jurisdiction, or hand over such persons to a fellow High Contracting Party so that they may be brought before a court of law; • Applying all available measures to ensure respect and adherence to the Fourth Geneva Convention; • Enforcing an end to any breaches of peremptory norms of international law and to neither recognize as lawful a situation created by such a serious breach, nor to render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation. • Developing mechanisms and taking effective measures to bring Israel into compliance with international law. Responsibility and accountability for the systematic denial of natural resources and services, and more generally, for loss of life, serious health problems, material losses, and deprivation of basic human rights should be pursued through independent investigatory processes, in turn ensuring reparations and prosecuting those guilty of serious International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law violations. 87
