Promoting Impunity:
The Israeli Military’s Failure to Investigate Wrongdoing
|
By Human Rights Watch
This report conducted
by Human Rights Watch examines the Israeli army’s failure to
investigate adequately allegations of wrongdoing by Israeli
soldiers since the outbreak of clashes in September 2000. It
addresses three major questions. First, it examines how the army’s
policy on investigations has operated since September 2000, and
the obstacles to accountability it has created. Second, it
assesses the impact of “operational investigations,” in which
allegations of wrongdoing are “investigated” by the colleagues of
the alleged perpetrator. These debriefings may be appropriate for
learning operational lessons, but they in no way constitute
impartial investigations into suspicious incidents. Third, it
looks at how the Military Police investigations opened since
September 2000 have been conducted — and what can be done to
improve them.
