Extrajudicial Killings
Israeli Legal System
Israeli investigations into Palestinian deaths are only rarely opened, and when they are, it is usually a military body that is responsible for the "investigation" that inevitably fails to find fault in its own conduct. Furthermore, the Israeli legal system permits the routine perpetration of extrajudicial executions, in contravention to international law. Israeli human rights organizations have protested this legal framework that allows for the continued violation of Palestinians' right to life.
