Furthermore, it is a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions &#8211; an unquestionable war crime and possibly a crime against humanity. This policy is also in violation of clear prohibitions under human rights law, including the right to private and family life, and infringes upon the right to an adequate standard of living. In addition, it may also amount to inhumane treatment. Due to these violations of the international legal framework, the plan should be halted immediately and any steps taken to go through with this plan must be investigated by domestic authorities, and, failing this, the international community.&#8221;<\/h6>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Full report here:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.diakonia.se\/documents\/public\/IHL\/IHLanalysis\/Diakonia_Forced_Transfer_of_Bedouin_Communities_Legal_Brief.pdf<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jahalin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/UN-OCHAP-logo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UN OCHAP logo\" src=\"http:\/\/jahalin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/UN-OCHAP-logo-300x50.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ochaopt.org\/documents\/ocha_opt_bedouin_FactSheet_October_2011_english.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bedouin Relocation:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ochaopt.org\/documents\/ocha_opt_bedouin_FactSheet_October_2011_english.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Threat of Displacement in the Jerusalem Periphery<\/a> &#8212; UN Fast Fact Sheet, September 2011<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6>Around 2,300 Bedouin reside in 20 communities in the hills to the east of Jerusalem.
