| Opening Remarks |
| In 2005, Adalah’s litigation before the Supreme Court (SCt) challenged discrimination in many fields, especially the right to water and right to education in the unrecognized villages in the Naqab. A prominent petition submitted with other human rights organizations sought the cancellation of a law denying compensation to Palestinians from the Occupied Territories.
Several individual petitions were filed against the Justice Ministry’s Police Investigation Unit’s (“Mahash”) decisions to close files against police who used illegal fire and violence against citizens. The SCt delivered two landmark judgments on our cases, deciding that an affirmative-action policy in education must be followed for Arab Bedouin pupils in the Naqab and that the Israeli army’s use of Palestinian civilians as human shields is illegal.
In September, Mahash closed all files against police over the killings of 13 Palestinian citizens in October 2000. Adalah will be extensively engaged in this matter in 2006. We also expect SCt decisions in at least three of our major petitions: the National Priority List petition, which was filed in 1998; the budget balancing grants for Arab municipalities petition, filed in 2001; and the ban on family unification petition, filed in 2003.
