Our concerns
Although Alkarama’s mandate only covers Member States of the Arab League, we also document human rights violations committed by the Israeli authorities, due to the occupation of Palestine.
- Arbitrary detention – particularly in the form of administrative detention – as well as the use of torture against Palestinians, including minors, by Israeli authorities;
- Severe crackdown on freedom of expression by both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities;
- Practice of torture and arbitrary detention by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and by Hamas in Gaza.
