The commission deplored what it called Israel's "flout- ing of the fourth Geneva Con- vention" (on the treatment of civilian populations in war- time) and insisted that Israel "cease all measures affect- ing the physical peculiarities and demographic composi- tion of these territories." The commission said it was "profoundly troubled over the destruction of homes, the expropriation of Arab possessions, the de- plorable treatment inflicted on prisoners and the plun- dering of the region's arch- eological heritage and the ex- ploitation of its natural re- sources." The abstaining Western powers stressed that a dis- tinction should be made be- tween war crimes and viola- tions of Geneva conventions. The French delegate said that Israel violations were "not all crimes" and have not all been proven. The Human Rights Com- mission apparently based its action on the report of a three-nation commission set up by the United Nations General Assembly several years ago to investigate the condition of the inhabitants of the Israel-held territories.
