Ms Hilary Minch:

We feel the same frustration. We prepare reports, bear witness and go to the European Parliament. There are human rights organisations that are better placed than us to do some of the long-term legal work.

The Deputy asked what else can be done so I shall outline the big thing to do. Unfortunately, as we have seen, Israel will not act without external pressure being applied. Therefore, we should still pursue all the legal and human rights angles that we can but, in as friendly a way as possible, bring pressure to bear on the government of Israel that it must act and end occupation. One of the things we can do relates to the banning of settlement good. We could make a decision not to trade will illegal settlements. Two key ways to put pressure on Israel is to recognise Palestine as a state and to balance things slightly for negotiations.
