The E1 plan and its implications for human rights in the West Bank<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

December 2012<\/h4>\n
\n

This past weekend, the media reported that Israel has decided to advance the planning of thousands of apartments in the settlement of Ma\u2019ale Adumim, as part of the E-1 plan, in the area connecting the settlement to Jerusalem. According to media accounts, this decision was reached following the UN General Assembly\u2019s recognition of Palestine as a state with UN observer status.<\/p>\n

The implementation of construction plans in E1 will create an urban bloc between Ma\u2019ale Adumim and Jerusalem, exacerbate the isolation of East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank and will divide the West Bank into two separate areas, north and south.<\/p>\n

The establishment of settlements in occupied territory runs counter to international humanitarian law, which prohibits the transfer of people from the occupying state into the occupied area. It also prohibits any permanent changes in the occupied territory, with the exception of changes mandated by military needs or in order to benefit the local population. In addition, the establishment of Israeli settlements leads to numerous violations of Palestinians’ human rights. The plan to expel\u00a0Bedouin communities<\/a>\u00a0who reside in these areas is a further breach of international humanitarian law, which prohibits the forcible transfer of “protected persons,” such as these communities, unless done for their own safety or for an urgent military need. Even then, it is permissible only on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[…]\n
