ISRAEL HIGH COURT REBUKES GOVERNMENT FOR BARRING RED CROSS PRISONER SUPERVISION
August 27, 2024Israel’s High Court of Justice issued a conditional order on a petition filed by human rights organizations demanding that International Red Cross representatives be allowed to conduct visits to Palestinian prisoners and detainees from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank being held in Israel.
The original petition was filed by various human rights organizations, including the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, HaMoked and Gisha, demanding that the Red Cross be allowed to visit and receive information about the prisoners.
The petition by the human rights organizations, many of which receive significant funding from outside of Israel, argued that “according to international law, even if one of the sides in a conflict is not fulfilling its obligation according to the law of war, this does not absolve the other side from their obligations.”
