The actions of the Israeli authorities to expel citizens from the occupied Palestinian territories are a war crime and a violation of international law. This is stated in the 1999 report of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Web site United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
According to the OHCHR, the report found reasons to conclude that a series of actions taken by Israel against non-governmental organizations constituted violations of international human rights and humanitarian law and could constitute crimes under international law.
These include the arbitrary detention of non-governmental organization members and their forcible transfer from the Occupied Palestinian Territories to Israel in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the revocation of their East Jerusalem residence permit, and the expulsion of a human rights defender from East Jerusalem. . said the organization.
“We have no doubt that the revocation of Salah Hammouri’s residence permit in East Jerusalem for alleged ‘violation of allegiance’ to the State of Israel constitutes a war crime,” said Commissioner Chris Sidoti.
“To demand allegiance from people protected in the occupied territories is a reprehensible violation of international humanitarian law,” he said. He also added that the commission holds information on citizens “who are responsible for what could be considered a war crime of illegal deportation, including third parties such as airlines and employees who assisted the deportation.”
