Amendment No. 5 | Doc. 14583 | 08 October 2018
The treatment of Palestinian minors in the Israeli justice system
In the draft resolution, replace paragraphs 6 and 6.1 to 6.11 with the following paragraphs:
"The Parliamentary Assembly thus calls on the Israeli authorities to work with UNICEF, the International Committee of the Red Cross, civil society and all relevant stakeholders with a view to changing, as appropriate, the laws, the practice and the attitudes so as to fully protect the rights of Palestinian children in the military juvenile justice system in accordance with applicable international humanitarian law, taking into account all relevant factors, including the security concerns of the State of Israel. The Assembly stands ready to assist the Knesset and the Palestinian authorities in this regard.
The Assembly also calls for an examination of the actions by Palestinian actors that encourage minors to take part in criminal activity. This investigation should examine the following issues:
- Palestinian minors/children are exposed to continuous and systematic indoctrination of incitement and are encouraged to participate in violence towards Jewish people through their education system and the Palestinian Authority official TV Channel.
- There is widespread glorification of individuals and their families who become "martyrs" by committing violent acts, including young people and women, who get schools, streets and stadiums named after them.
- There are financial incentives and direct payments to families of those who have been imprisoned or killed during these attacks, including suicide bombers.".
