UN rights body demands Israel halt settlement activities

My question is what will they do when Israel does not listen.
it's time to do more then just talk.

The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution on Thursday
demanding Israel halt its settlements in the occupied Palestinian
territory, including East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights in Syria.

The resolution was passed by a vote of 46-1 during the 7th
session of the UN Human Rights Council, which denounced
Israel's decision on March 17 to build settlements in East
Jerusalem and neighboring areas.

The resolution said the Israeli settlement activities
constituted grave violations of international law and
the pledges made by Israel at the Annapolis Peace
Conference in the United States last November.

The Human Rights conference reaffirmed the
legitimate rights of the Palestinians and the creation
of a "viable, contiguous, sovereign and independent
Palestinian state."

It also called upon all UN member countries and
associations to assist and support the Palestinians in
the realization of their rights as early as possible.

Thirteen resolutions including Human Rights
protection and religious defamation were passed
during the meeting.
