During this entire period, Israel has denied millions of Palestinian residents their basic rights and has prevented them from taking part in decisions affecting their fate. The occupation permeates every aspect of Palestinians&#8217; daily lives, with violations of the right to life and bodily integrity, freedom of movement, employment, family life, housing, health, education, and human dignity forming an inescapable part of their reality.<\/p>\n<p>In the field of human rights in the Occupied Territories, ACRI is a key player in the struggle to ensure the fundamental rights of the Palestinian population. ACRI&#8217;s efforts are designed to redress the broad range of human rights violations while bringing pressure to bear on the Israeli government to fulfill its obligations under international law to ensure the protection and well-being of the Palestinian civilian population under occupation. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources on the Occupied Territories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=683\">Court Orders Ministry to Find Immediate Solution for Shaofat School<\/a>, August 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=669\">NGOs Protest Government Attempts to Silence &#8216;Breaking the Silence&#8217;<br \/>\n<\/a>, July 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=672\">State Announces West Bank Route 443 to Remain Segregated Till May 2010<\/a>, July 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=663\">Life in the Garbage: A Report on Sanitation Services in East Jerusalem<\/a>, July 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=662\"> High Court rule on Ni\u2019ilin Sets Human Rights As Prime Consideration<\/a>, July 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=661\">Organizations Present Goldstone Team with Grave Report on Gaza<\/a>, June 29, 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=656\">Demanding Suspension of IDF Commanders Virob and Harush <\/a>, June 24, 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=653\">Demanding Access to Land for Palestinian Villagers in the Seam Zone<\/a>, June 21, 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=650\">Intervention Warns of Deteriorating Situation at Qalandiya Checkpoint <\/a>, June 16, 2009<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=634\">Human Rights Groups Respond to Results of IDF Probe into Gaza Killings<\/a>, April 22, 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=635\">Response to the Attorney-General&#8217;s Refusal Concerning a Gaza Probe<\/a>, March 19, 2009<\/p>\n<p><a href = \"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=548\"> ACRI Op-ed: &#8220;Call It What You Will, Just Do What You Can to End It&#8221;<\/a>, The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), September 25, 2008 <\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/middle-east\/fury-after-israeli-officer-in-charge-o f-prisoners-shooting-is-reassigned-888292.html\">&#8220;Fury after Israeli officer in charge of  prisoner&#8217;s shooting is &#8216;reassigned'&#8221;<\/a>, <i>The Independent<\/i>, August 8, 2008 <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=527\">Human Rights Groups Petition against Light Sentence of Soldiers<\/a>, August 2008<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2008\/jun\/20\/israel\/print\">&#8220;Forced Apart by Law&#8221;<\/a>, <i> The Guardian<\/i>, June 2008 <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=405\">Darkness in Gaza Won&#8217;t Bring Light to Sderot<\/a>, January 2008<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/pdf\/ICJ.pdf\">ACRI Briefing on the Citizenship Law<\/a>, August 2007 <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/pdf\/democeng.pdf\"> ACRI&#8217;s Position Paper: Democracy and Occupation<\/a>, June 2007<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=367\">Supreme Court Rejects Petition to Open Karni Crossing<\/a>, March 2007<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=366\"> Following ACRI report, UN Condemns Discrimination in Israel, OPT<\/a>, March 2007<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/?p=328\">Supreme Court Orders Security Forces to Protect Palestinian Farmers<\/a>, June 2006<\/p>\n<div class='footnote'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 2009 marked the 42nd anniversary of Israel&#8217;s occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
