PA Human Rights Group Wants Change in PA
by Hana Levi Julian
(IsraelNN.com)
A powerful Palestinian Authority (PA) human rights group is
recommending that Western donors force the Arab entity to change its
political ways.
The Al-Haq organization expressed outrage Thursday at the Palestinian
Authority's system of injustice and called on Western nations to help
persuade PA politicians to correct the situation.
Al-Haq director Shahwan Jabbarin particularly focused on the issue of
judiciary independence, saying that security services in both the
Fatah-run areas of Judea and Samaria and in Hamas-controlled Gaza are
operating illegally.
In a statement Thursday, Al-Haq firmly denounced the "negligence of
the Palestinian Executive and Judicial authorities in putting an end
to such illegal practices" as arrest warrants being issued against
civilians and their detention by military courts.
"Palestinian security forces are totally disregarding any attempt made
by the civil judiciary to exercise any form of control over their
actions, capitalizing on the unconditional support provided by the
military judiciary to their misconduct," read the statement.
Jabbarin told reporters that the best way to ensure a change in PA
policies is by hitting it in its pocket. "I tell the donors it's high
time they pressured the Authority to implement its commitments towards
the independence of the judiciary."
PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad acknowledged that there have been
violations and said authorities had made mistakes, but said he remains
committed to building security and judicial reform in Judea and
Samaria.
Hamas denied any wrongdoing, saying there was no political
significance to arrests made by its security forces.
Al-Haq: Political Power on an International Scale
Although Al-Haq appears to be a simple non-profit non-governmental
organization, in reality the group, which was founded in 1979 to
"protect and promote human rights and the rule of law" is very
powerful. Based in Ramallah, it was one of the first human rights
organizations established in the Arab world.
Al-Haq initially focused primarily on Israel "as an Occupying Power…
and the structures imposed by its military and governmental
authorities in the OPT (Occupied Palestinian Territory, as the PA
refers to Yesha –ed.)" but slowly turned its attention inward.
By 1986 it was examining human rights issues within the context of the
PLO's treatment of its own Arabs, particularly women and workers'
rights. Eventually the group broadened its scope, winning generous
financial support from numerous international organizations and acting
as their representative in Judea and Samaria.
Al-Haq has special consultative status with the United Nations
Economic and Social Council and documents violations of the individual
and collective rights of PA Arabs "irrespective of the identity of the
perpetrator."
In 2004, the group launched a campaign against what it called "Israeli
measures of collective punishment and intimidation in the OPT."  In
addition to the campaign, Al-Haq marked its 25th anniversary with
"Waiting for Justice, a report that provided in-depth legal analysis
of violations of human rights by the Israeli authorities, based on
first hand information gathered by its fieldworkers."
It is affiliated with a number of other international entities,
including the International Commission of Jurists - Geneva, and is a
member of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (E.M.H.R.N.),
the World Organization Against Torture (O.M.C.T.), the International
Federation for Human Rights (F.I.D.H.), Habitat International
Coalition (H.I.C.), and the Palestinian N.G.O. Network (P.N.G.O.).

Tranquillo, tanto i diritti umani sono una impostura occidental-
cristiano-colonialista. In realta' non esistono.

 cristiano-colonialista.
non mi pare proprio, basta vedere come gli occidentali rispettano i
diritti umani in Iraq e Afghanistan.
