WRITTEN QUESTION E-1731/02

by Anna Karamanou (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Imprisonment of conscientious objectors in Israel

(17 June 2002)

According to Amnesty International,
to alternative service for
conscientious objectors who refuse to perform military service, as recognised by the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Israel is a party. As a result of this practice, at least 114
conscientious objectors have been imprisoned since the beginning of the intifada, 20 of whom are
currently in prison for refusing to perform their military service in the occupied territories.

Israel does not recognise the right

What steps will the Commission take to exert pressure on the Israeli Government to comply with the
international conventions which it has ratified but flagrantly violates in practice?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(19 July 2002)

The Commission is keeping a close watch on the fate of Israeli reservists who are refusing to serve in the
Occupied Territories but cannot be described as conscientious objectors since they have not refused to
perform military service as such.

According to the information available, fewer than 10 reservists are currently in prison for this reason.

The refusal by some reservists to serve in this way has been accompanied by a wider movement (petitions,
demonstrations, etc.) whose aim is to obtain recognition for Israeli reservists not wishing to serve in the
Occupied Territories. At the beginning of their action the reservists and their movement expressed the
wish to have no contact with the press or foreign diplomats so that they could not be accused of being
manipulated or supported by outsiders.

Whilst taking care not to interfere without reason in internal Israeli legislation, the Commission intends to
follow these developments (cid:1) as it does in all situations with a human rights aspect (cid:1) and, if necessary, to
discuss the matter with the Member States in the appropriate forum.
