RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- UNICEF states that the Israeli authorities continue to violate the rights of Palestinian children detained in the Israeli detention centers, and to breach the international conventions and norms in this regard.
The UN agency says in a statement the Israeli violations in treating the Palestinian child prisoners continue, seven months after it released a briefing paper titled “Children in Israeli military detention” which outlined practical measures to improve the treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military custody.
The paper was released on 6 March 2013 and stated that there appeared to be a pattern of ill-treatment during the arrest, transfer and interrogation of child detainees in the West Bank.
The UNICEF stated that the Israeli military applied only 3 recommendations out of 38 contained in the briefing paper.
Among the procedures the occupation has been trying to adopt is to issue summons of children in lieu of night arrest at home.
In April 2013, Israeli Military Order 1711 came into effect, reducing the time a Palestinian child can be detained prior to appearing before a military court judge for the first time. The new order reduces the time from four days to 24 hours for children aged 12-13, and from four to two days for children aged 14-15. While there is no change for children aged 16-17.
UNICEF in its statement reported that 19 Palestinian children suffered from Israeli violation in jails during the second quarter of this year.
It asserted it will continue to engage with Israel’s Military Advocate General and advocate for the implementation of all 38 recommendations of the briefing paper, to improve protection for children in conformity with international standards.
Israeli military forces arrested and prosecuted during the past decade about 7 thousands Palestinian children between the ages of 12 and 17 years.
