Israel has ‘de facto state policy’ of organised torture, says UN report
NegativeWorld Affairs
- A recent UN report has accused Israel of maintaining a 'de facto state policy of organised and widespread torture' over the past two years, highlighting severe allegations such as dog attacks, sexual violence, and other forms of mistreatment by Israeli security forces. The report raises significant concerns regarding the lack of accountability for these actions, which are classified as war crimes.
- This development is critical as it underscores the ongoing human rights violations in Israel's treatment of detainees, reflecting a broader pattern of impunity for security forces. The UN's findings may influence international perceptions and responses to Israel's policies and actions in the region.
- The report aligns with a series of recent incidents that have drawn condemnation from human rights organizations, including the killing of Palestinian men during military operations and ongoing allegations of genocide in Gaza. These events highlight a troubling trend of violence and disregard for human rights, prompting calls for investigations and accountability from various international bodies.
