necessary precautions and measures
to ensure the safety and security
of Palestinian prisoners.
The campaign included the publication
of a set of posts and
videos on social media focusing
on the conditions of Palestinian
prisoners in Israeli prisons.
The Independent Commission
also plays a role in bridging the
gap between the government and
civil society to work to the maximum
possible capacity and cooperation
in light of facing the crisis.
To this end, it has taken the initiative
to hold an online meeting
between the government, represented
by the Prime Minister on
the one hand, and representatives
of civil society organizations on
the other hand, to discuss the
efforts made by each party and
the mechanisms to improve coordination
and integration between
them.
The Independent Commission for
Human Rights continues its role
as the national human rights
institution in Palestine in promoting
and protecting human rights
in accordance with the Palestinian
Basic Law, national legislation, the
Declaration of Independence, and
international human rights standards,
as this role is required during
the state of emergency more than
ever. The Commission also works
on ensuring that human rights
standards are respected by Palestinian
duty-holders, despite
having a reality that lacks basic
components and human rights
requirements due to the presence
of the occupation and its continuous
violations, as well as a set of
obstacles in light of the continuing
Palestinian political division.
Nevertheless, efforts have not and
will not stop to face all challenges,
preserve human rights and
promote freedoms in Palestine,
even if the matter is difficult.
