New military order on juveniles issued in the West Bank
Report, DCI-PS, 25 August 2009
For the past 42 years, Palestinian children have been tried in the same military courts as adults, even though Israel is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child which promotes the establishment of specialised juvenile courts (see Article 40(3)). After years of criticism, most recently by the UN Committee Against Torture, the Israeli military commander has now acknowledged the requirement for a child specific jurisdiction with the issuance of Military Order 1644.
DCI-Palestine is of the view that children should not be tried in military courts with minimal fair trial guarantees and has a number of particular concerns regarding Military Order 1644 and the treatment of Palestinian children in the Israeli military legal system.
