Recommendations
To Israel
• Prohibit all settlers from employing Palestinian
children, whether directly or through middlemen, for work in violation of
international law, in particular, any employment of children under the age of
15, or employment of children under age 18 in hazardous work.
• Impose penalties on employers or contractors who
illegally employ children.
• Lift unlawful restrictions on Palestinians in occupied
territory that contribute to Palestinian poverty and unemployment, and to the
vulnerability of Palestinian children to rights abuses on settlement farms and
dropping out of school, including restrictions on Palestinian freedom of
movement, access to water and electricity, and land use such as for
agriculture, housing, and educational facilities.
• Abide by its obligations as the occupying power and
dismantle civilian settlements in the occupied West Bank.
To the European Union and EU Member States
• Revise the
“Technical Arrangement” of the EU/Israel Association Agreement to require
Israel to exclude agricultural settlement products from shipments of Israeli
goods eligible for preferential tariff treatment.
• Instruct European importers to cease imports of
agricultural settlement products.
To the United States
• Revise the US/Israel Free Trade Agreement to exclude
agricultural settlement products.
• Instruct US importers to cease imports of agricultural
settlement products.
To Palestine
• Improve enforcement of laws on children’s free and
compulsory education and prohibitions on child labor in areas where there is
Palestinian jurisdiction, including by disciplining or prosecuting middlemen
when the Israeli abusers fall outside of Palestinian jurisdiction.
• Seek membership in the International Labor Organization
(ILO), and ratify ILO Convention 138 on the Minimum Age for Admission to
Employment and ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labor.7
• Continue to press foreign governments to cease imports
of settlement agricultural products.
To Businesses Active in Israeli Settlements
• Cease
activities in the Israeli settlement agricultural sector, including providing
equipment or services, and exporting or marketing agricultural produce.
