To the United Nations Human Rights Council (and relevant bodies): 58 • Clarify the mandates of agencies and bodies responsible for developing and implementing durable solutions. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP), UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and other relevant bodies should clarify mandates in order to coordinate effective protection for all Palestinian refugees; • Find that Israel’s policies in Israel proper and the occupied Palestinian territory constitute forced population transfer; • Condemn Israel’s policies for violating the prohibition of forced population transfer pursuant to the Fourth Geneva Convention; • Urge the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons to conduct an investigation within the occupied Palestinian territory as well as in Israel proper; • 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 zoning and planning policies; • Thoroughly examine Israel’s institutionalized discrimination that distinguishes between 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 persons to repatriation of their homes, lands and properties, and compensation for losses and damages; • Establish a comprehensive registration system for Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons. The UN should coordinate a comprehensive registration system for protecting, crafting durable solutions, and fulfilling reparations. Such a system should include all categories of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons, and recognize instances of multiple displacement.
