B’Tselem documents human rights abuses in the Occupied Territories and brings them to the attention of policymakers and the general public. Its data are based on independent fieldwork and research, official sources, the media, and data from Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations. How long does it take to demolish a house? It takes a year to build it. Sometimes a hundred years. And there are some houses that have always been there. How long does it take to demolish a house? Less time than is spent thinking about whether it should have been demolished.

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.

  • De Facto and De Jure Annexation: a Relevant Distinction in International Law? Israel and Area C: a Case Study
    FREE UNIVERSITY OF BRUSSELS European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2018/2019 De facto and de jure annexation: a relevant distinction in International Law? Israel and Area C: a case study Author: Eugenia de Lacalle Supervisor: François Dubuisson ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, our warmest thanks go to our thesis supervisor, François Dubuisson. A big part of this piece of work is the fruit of his advice and vast knowledge on both the conflict and International Law, and we certainly would not have been able to carry it out without his help. It has been an amazing experience to work with him, and we have learned more through having conversations with him than by spending hours doing research. We would like to deeply thank as well all those experts and professors that received an e-mail from a stranger and accepted to share their time, knowledge and opinions on such a controversial topic. They have provided a big part of the foundation of this research, all the while contributing to shape our perspectives and deepen our insight of the conflict. A list of these outstanding professionals can be found in Annex 1. Finally, we would also like to thank the Spanish NGO “Youth, Wake-Up!” for opening our eyes to the Israeli-Palestinian reality and sparkling our passion on the subject. At a more technical level, the necessary field research for this dissertation would have not been possible without its provision of accommodation during the whole month of June 2019. 1 ABSTRACT Since the occupation of the Arab territories in 1967, Israel has been carrying out policies of de facto annexation, notably through the establishment of settlements and the construction of the Separation Wall.

  • Judicial Review of Administrative Detentions in the Israeli Supreme Court
    V anderbilt Journal of Transnational Law VOLUME 45 May 2012 NUMBER 3 Lifting the Veil of Secrecy: Judicial Review of Administrative Detentions in the Israeli Supreme Court Shiri Krebs* ABSTRACT All around the world, hundreds of individuals are constantly subjected to administrative detentions designed to prevent them from committing future atrocities. Generally, the main protection against arbitrary and unjustified administrative detentions is judicial review. Nonetheless, judicial review of administrative detention proceedings suffers from inherent difficulties and is typically based on ex parte proceedings and secret evidence. In spite of these difficulties and based on a few renowned cases, it is widely accepted in the scholarly debates that the Israeli judicial review model is robust * JSD Candidate, Stanford Law School. In the years 2006–2010 the Author served as a legal advisor on international law matters in the chambers of Chief-Justice Dorit Beinisch, President of the Israeli Supreme Court. I wish to thank Prof. Jenny Martinez for her guidance, advice and inspiration throughout the various stages of the year-long research project. I also wish to thank Prof. Stephen J. Schulhofer, Prof. Allen Weiner, Prof. Lawrence Friedman, Prof. Rogelio Perez-Perdomo, Prof. Moria Paz, Ms. Ayelet Sela, and Mr. Tomer Perry, for their valuable comments, advice, and encouragement, and to Editor in Chief Peter Muller, for his thorough work and thoughtful comments. Mostly, I am indebted to all of my interviewees: Supreme Court Justices, defense lawyers, state attorneys, intelligence officers and Palestinian detainees—who shared their personal and professional experiences with me. I am especially grateful for the financial support of Stanford Law School and the E.
