"Administrative Detention" of Palestinians as a Crime Against Humanity of the Zionist Regime

Abstract

"Crimes against humanity" gross violations of international criminal law and extreme forms of collective violence that are part of the systematic or widespread attack against a civilian population and are usually carried out by government agents. The purpose of writing this article is the feasibility of "administrative detention" of Palestinians as a crime against humanity by the Zionist regime. The working method is descriptive-analytical and using original library sources. Apparently, the administrative detention of Palestinians, which takes place without legal authorization and usually for security reasons, is a crime against humanity. In fact, since the Zionist regime unjustly violates the right to personal freedom of Palestinian civilians, it can be prosecuted by referring to the criminal titles of "imprisonment" or "persecution and harassment" in clauses (e) and (h) of Article 7 of the statute. Also, due to non-observance of the requirements of administrative detention, it is not far from mind to commit this crime through the realization of paragraph (k) of the aforementioned regulation; because this issue is in line with the regime's policy to take action against Palestinians andauses suffering and serious damage to the health of the detainees.
