International law is clear that prisoners should not be transferred outside of an occupied territory — both to allow their families access to them and to prevent forced population transfer. But that's not all that's at stake… the issue matters because a violation of the Convention of this magnitude and duration undermines the credibility of the international legal order and its institutions with adverse implications for the rule of law in the region and beyond.
