Israel's West Bank settlement policy 'a war crime': UN rights chief

Israel must evacuate all settlers from the West Bank and make reparations for decades of illegal settlement, the U.N. rights chief said Tuesday, describing the policy as "a war crime."

"The transfer by Israel of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies amounts to a war crime," Volker Turk said in a statement, demanding that the country "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities and evacuate all settlers."
