<p>We are aware of Amal Nakhleh's case. According to international law, administrative
detention should be used only when imperative reasons of security makes it necessary,
rather than as routine practice and as a preventive rather than a punitive measure.
We continue to call on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under
international law and either charge or release detainees. We remain committed to working
with Israel to secure improvements to the practices surrounding children in detention
and regularly raise this with the Israeli Ministry of Justice. We also fund projects
providing legal aid to assist children with legal representation and capacity building
to local lawyers. Ultimately, a lasting peace agreement is needed which ensures that
all those who are in need of medical attention have access to healthcare provisions.</p>
