The Israeli settlement in Palestine according to international law

The Research Problem of this PhD thesis is the Continuation of Settlements despite the violation of International Law, Treaties, Resolutions of Security Council and the General Assembly. The Researcher Followed the Descriptive, Analytical, Historical, and Legal Approach. The UNSC's first warning came in resolution 446 in 1979 that "Israel's policies and measures of building settlements in the Palestinian and Arab Occupied Territories are illegitimate" calling upon Israel to abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, particularly paragraph (6) of Article (49) stating that: "Occupying Power shall not transfer a part of its population into the occupied territories" and shall not "take any measures that may change the legal status and geographic nature or affect the demographic composition of the occupied territories". Moreover, in December 23, 2016 the UNSC affirmed in its resolution 2334 the illegality of building settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and considered it a flagrant violation of international law. Settlements, according to the International Criminal Court's Rome Statute, are considered as a war crime that requires holding the leaders of occupation authorities accountable as war criminals. The International Court of Justice, as well, has affirmed the illegality of the Seperation Wall and the settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories including those in East Jerusalem, and they should be immediately removed since they violate international law.
