rough its lack of appropriate planning,
building and permit policies and discriminatory
home demolitions, Israel violates its obligations
under international human rights law to ensure
that Palestinians in East Jerusalem are guaranteed
access to legal, aordable, safe housing. Israel
is further obligated under international
humanitarian law to ensure safety and order
and nd an appropriate housing solution for
Palestinian residents living under its occupation
in East Jerusalem.
FHE9;IIE<;J>D?9:?IFB79;C;DJ
e demographic policy applied to East
Jerusalem explicitly aims to alter the ethnic
composition of the city of Jerusalem and is a
motivating factor behind the imposition of
discriminatory laws, policies and practices
on the Palestinian population. e result is a
process of ethnic displacement through creating
a situation in which leaving is not by choice but
based on lack of alternative, and rendering the
displacement unlawfully obliged, according
to both international human rights law and
international humanitarian law.

JE7D7J?ED7B?JO
Under international humanitarian law and
human rights law, the permanent residency
status held by Palestinian East Jerusalemites must
not be revocable or conditioned on presence.
According to international humanitarian law,
Israel has no legal authority to bar Palestinians
from moving around within the OPT, nor
may it deny them reentry. Under international
human rights law, Palestinians must have the
right to return to East Jerusalem because it is
their country of origin.

e right to development is rooted in
international human rights law that recognizes
self-determination and obligates states to
create conditions for participation without
discrimination in public aairs, and the
collective ability of groups to develop and
advance according to their needs. Israels policies
and practices toward the Palestinian community
in East Jerusalem stie development and do
not meet the requirements of safety and order,
including in building, housing and development,
imposed by international humanitarian law.
>EC;:;CEB?J?EDI7IF;HI;?BB;=7B
e majority of house demolitions in East
Jerusalem are carried out based on laws and
policies that do not conform with international
law and without military necessity, and thus
constitute illegal property destruction under
international humanitarian law. Due to the
large scale of the violation, it may well constitute
a grave breach of international humanitarian law
and even a war crime.
