question text To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to discuss with the government of Israel ways of preventing violations of the human rights of young people in the Occupied Territories, with full consideration as to the best interests of the child, reduced plea bargaining, suspended and community sentences, the use of civilian judges or magistrates, the improvement of court translation services, and the introduction of restorative justice. more like this

answer text <p>We regularly raise the issue of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories with the Government of Israel, including the situation for young people. We funded and facilitated the independent report ‘Children in Military Custody’ by leading British lawyers and have urged Israel to implement the recommendations made in the report. British Ministers and our Ambassador in Tel Aviv have spoken and written to both the Israeli Justice Minister and the Israeli Attorney General to urge Israel to take action on the report. Specifically, we advocate the mandatory use of audio-visual recording of interrogations of minors, a reduction in the use of single hand ties, alternatives to night arrests and for the Israeli authorities to inform detainees more consistently of their legal rights. We are also concerned by the continued transfer of Palestinian child and adult detainees to prisons inside Israel in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.</p> more like this
