| | [15 Jun 1999] GA/PAL/806 : EXPERT PANEL EXAMINES ISRAELI VIOLATIONS OF FOURTH GENEVA CONVENTION IN OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN ... |
 | | The Geneva Conventions expressly recognized the fundamental right to be treated humanely and specifically prohibited violence to life and persons; taking of hostages; outrages upon personal dignity; and the passing of sentences and carrying out of executions without the judgement of a regularly constituted court. | | | The Convention states that all the provisions should apply to all High Contracting Parties. | | | According to their reasoning, the Convention is not a part of customary international law, so it cannot be a part of local law. |

| | However due to the absence of state practice in applying the Convention, the courts reached the conclusion that the convention is not yet customary law and hence not enforceable. | | | The humanitarian provisions of the convention are enforced by the Israeli courts and formally applying the convention would not materially change the situation in this regard. | | | Israel claims to be applying the convention de facto but not de jure. |

| | Belligerent occupation is governed by The Hague Regulations of 1907, as well as by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and the customary laws of belligerent occupation. | | | Moreover, a crime against humanity is the direct historical and legal precursor to the international crime of genocide as defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. | | | Indeed, violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention are war crimes. |
