This is the second periodic report of the State of Israel, submitted to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child in accordance with the requirements of article 44 of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (hereinafter referred to as the ―Convention. This report has been compiled by the Human Rights and Foreign Relations Department of the Ministry of Justice, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other Israeli Government bodies. Israeli non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were also invited to submit comments prior to the compilation of the present report, both through direct application, and a general invitation to submit remarks, which was posted on the Ministry of Justice website. Their contributions were given substantial consideration. 2. Since the submission of the initial report (CRC/C/8/Add.44), many legislative, administrative and judicial developments relevant to the implementation of the Convention have occurred. A brief summary of the most significant of these changes is set out below. This report provides a comprehensive account of these developments. It also addresses the comments made by the Committee in its concluding observations (CRC/C/15/Add.195) dated 10 October 2002. 3. As of Israel‘s first submission to the Committee, noteworthy legislative steps have been taken to promote children‘s rights. Several of the more prominent new pieces of legislation include: - Amendment No. 10 to the Public Defenders Law (the: ―Public Defenders‖) - Amendment No. 11 to the Criminal Procedure Law 5756-1996 (the: ―Criminal Procedure Law‖) - Amendment No. 12 to the Criminal Procedure (Enforcement Powers and Bodily Search) (Legislative Amendment) 5765-2005 (the ―Enforcement Powers and Bodily Search Law‖) - Amendment No. 13 to the Legislative Amendment Law to the Evidence Revision (Protection of Children) Law 5765-2005 (the: ―Evidence Revision Law‖) - Amendment No. 5 to the Courts Law (Consolidated Version) 5744-1984 (the: ―Courts Law‖) - Legislative Amendment to the Treatment of Mentally Ill Law 5751-1991 (the: ―Treatment of Mentally Ill Law‖) - Amendment No. 14 to the Youth (Trial, Punishment and Modes of Treatment) Law 5731-1971 (the: ―Youth Law‖) - Amendment No. 9 to the Transportation Ordinance (New Version) 5721-1961 (the: ―Transportation Ordinance (New Version)‖) - Amendment No. 6 to the Penal Law 5737-1977 (the: ―Penal Law‖), which endeavours to assimilate the principle of a child‘s best interest (as a leading principle) in legislative, administrative and judicial matters affecting children 4. In Israel, the principle rights enshrined by the Convention are effectively protected through legislation and judicial decisions. Having said this, it should be noted that Israel has not enacted any further basic laws (Israel‘s constitutional law) regarding children‘s rights since the submission of its previous periodic report. Israel did however incorporate the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 1980 into Israeli domestic law as the Hague Convention Law (Return of Abducted Children) 5751-2001. 4 CRC/C/ISR/2-4 With respect to judicial decisions, the Supreme Court has continued to play a major role in the implementation of the rights protected by the Convention. Judicial rulings 5. Both the Israeli Supreme Court and several of Israel‘s District Courts referred to different provisions of the Convention in a number of their decisions. The most noteworthy examples of this practice which occurred during the reporting period are: - The Supreme Court noted the provisions of article 3 regarding the best interests of the child in HCJ 7395/07 Anonymous v. The Rabbinical Court of Appeals (21.1. 2008). This case involved a dispute over the education of the children of a divorced couple. The Supreme Court overruled a decision of the Rabbinical Court, which had not considered the best interests of the children in question. The Supreme Court determined that the children should study in the national education system as opposed to the national-religious education system. - The Supreme Court also referred to article 28 of the Convention regarding a child‘s right to education in HCJ 6914/06 The National Parents Organization (Registered Society) v. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports et. al. (14.8. 2007). In this case, the National Parents Organization claimed that school-related payments, which parents are required to pay each year, violate the right to free education; and therefore filed a petition requiring the Ministry of Education to receive the approval of the Knesset Education Committee for all forms of parental school payments that parents are required to pay for each school year. - District Courts also referred to the rights enshrined in the Convention. For example, the Tel-Aviv District Court, when sitting as a Juvenile Court, addressed article 37(a) of the Convention in relation to the imposition of life imprisonment upon a minor who committed a murder before he reached the age of eighteen, and stressed that the

  • NGO Report to the UN Human Right Committee in Advance of Its List of Issues for the State of Israel
    NGO Report to the UN Human Right Committee in Advance of its List of Issues for the State of Israel Violations of the ICCPR committed by the State of Israel against the Arab Bedouin in the Southern Negev-Naqab desert Submitted by The Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality (NCF) Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel 9 April 2018 1 The Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality (NCF) was established in 1997 to provide a framework for Jewish-Arab collaborative efforts in the struggle for civil equality and the advancement of mutual tolerance and coexistence in the Negev-Naqab. NCF is unique in being the only Arab-Jewish organization that remains focused solely on the problems confronting the Negev- Naqab. NCF considers that the State of Israel fails to respect, protect and fulfill its human rights obligations, without discrimination, towards the Arab-Bedouin citizens in the Negev-Naqab. As a result, the NCF has set as one of its goals the achievement of full civil rights and equality for all people who make the Negev-Naqab their home. Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel is an independent human rights organization and legal center, founded in November 1996. Its mission is to promote human rights in Israel in general and the rights of the Palestinian minority, citizens of Israel, in particular (around 1.5 million people, or 20% of the population). This work also includes promoting and defending the human rights of all individuals subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Israel, including Palestinian residents of the OPT.

Honorary fellows are highly motivated individuals who have devoted many years of their time to the Zionist movement and who are role models for the next generation. Rabbi Wasserman then thanked the members of the Committee for Honorary Fellows: Barbara Goldstein, Silvio Joskowicz, Dalia Levy, Karma Cohen, Hernan Felman, Jacques Kupfer and Nava Avissar, the committee’s coordinator, for their dedicated work. Honorary Fellows: Mrs. Ana Marlene Starec – Mrs. Starec has been active in the Zionist movement for the past 54 years. She has been serving as Honorary President of WIZO for many years now and is also engaged in advocacy activities for Israel in the Diaspora in general, and with the Jewish communities of Brazil, in particular.
