The TIPH mandate is the result of negotiations conducted between 1994 and 1997 by the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. TIPH s main task is to monitor and report the effort to maintain normal life in the city of Hebron and thus creating a feeling of security among the Palestinian residents of the city. TIPH discusses its reports bilaterally with the Palestinian and Israeli security forces, or trilaterally, at Joint Hebron Committee meetings. TIPH is not allowed to intervene directly in conflicts and has no military or police functions. Observers do not conduct investigations, but can take photos or videotape incidents.
TIPH members perform their task in a neutral manner.
