<p>We remain concerned about the use of a dual court system whereby Palestinians,
except East Jerusalem residents, are subject to the Israeli military court system,
irrespective of the charge, whereas Israeli citizens are dealt with by the Israeli
civil justice system. We are clear that Israel has legal obligations as an Occupying
Power with respect to the Occupied Palestinian Territories under applicable international
law. We regularly discuss with the Government of Israel implementation of those obligations
and raise our serious concerns regarding such issues as the treatment of Palestinian
children detained in Israeli prisons.</p>
