Inside Story -- Israeli Settlements

Inside Story -- Israeli Settlements:

"Despite pledges by Israeli officials to stop settlement construction, the construction continues with nearly 2,000 additional settlement housing units announced since the Annapolis Conference in November 2007. The settlements in the OPT violate a number of international legal norms, and their illegality has been recognised by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and several United Nations (UN) resolutions. They are a flagrant violation of Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits an Occupying Power from transferring parts of its civilian population into occupied territory.
