201 The continued disruption of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) during 2010 has led to: 1) the absence of its role in monitoring; 2) its failure to perform its supervisory duties; 3) its inability to hold the Government accountable, to exercise a vote of confidence or no confidence, or question it; and 4) its inability to investigate grave violations and breaches of Palestinian human rights which occurred during 2010.

ICHR has documented more than (181) violations of court decisions. The Executive Power in both its security and civil branches failed to implement those decisions in a timely manner, as the non‐implementation of decisions issued by Palestinian courts regardless of their degrees is a clear violation of the provisions of the Palestinian Basic Law and in particular Article (106) thereof. The Article stipulates that the “Judicial rulings shall be implemented and refraining from or obstructing the implementation of a judicial ruling in any manner whatsoever shall be considered a crime carrying a penalty of imprisonment or dismissal from position...”
