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.

Massive violations of human rights and international humanitarian law during Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip;
Effective annexation and continued occupation of Palestinian territories by Israel and its policy of forced eviction through the demolition of Palestinian homes and the construction of illegal settlements;
Use of armed force against demonstrators, including children, by the security forces and acts of violence committed by settlers against Palestinians;
Impunity and lack of accountability measures against Israel by the UN Member States, in violation of their obligation to uphold international law;
Arbitrary detentions, including the misuse of administrative detention of Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are minors.
