PROHIBITION OF DEPORTATION OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS AND BUILDING JEWISH SETTLEMENTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

Authors

Abstract

During the occupation of Palestinian territories by Jewish settlers, Palestinian civilians became the main victims of the conflicts and the targets of deportation from their home territory. Collective and individual deportations and transfer by the occupying power of its own nationals into the territory it had occupied have frequently been carried out in the Palestinian territories by Israel as an occupying power. In this paper, these actions have been scrutinized in relation to the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly Resolutions, the Statute of the International Criminal Court and other international law rules and documents.
