Joint Alternative Report on Israel to the Committee against Torture

Israel : Alternative Report to the UN Committee against Torture – 57th session April-May 2016

The PCATI has submitted in consultation with OMCT an alternative report to the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) for its review of the Fifth Periodic Report on Israel which will take place on 3rd and 4th May 2016 in Geneva.

The report focuses on five issues of concern :

-       Lack of criminalization of torture in Israeli Law and failure of Israel to prevent torture within its jurisdiction ;

-       Lack of provision of real and effective safeguards against torture ;

-       Need for a fully independent and impartial mechanism to investigate allegations of torture ;

-       Need for specific trainings on the prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment, and incorporation of the use of the Istanbul Protocol in the investigation and documentation of torture ;

-       Lack of reparations for victims of torture in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Along with specific recommendations formulated for each issue of concern, the report is suggesting the CAT to adopt the following general recommendations with respect to Israel :

1.     Ratification of Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, allowing National Preventive Mechanisms and the UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture to visit all places of detention and detainees ;

2.     Recognition of the competence of the CAT under article 22 of the Convention to receive and examine communications from or on behalf of victims of violations of the provisions of the Convention within the jurisdiction of Israel.
