1. Until the abolishment of the death penalty within the Palestinian legal
system is achieved, the Government in the Gaza Strip should halt the
carrying out of death sentences imposed by the courts, and do so in
compliance with the increasing international demand to cancel the death
penalty from national laws.
2. The bodies engaged in the work of the Public Prosecution should
investigate all murder cases in order to bring the perpetrators to justice,
especially in those cases of honor killing documented by ICHR this year
and in previous years. They should also investigate the cases of women
killed due to citizens’ misuse of firearms.
3.
The Government in the Gaza Strip should, through its different ministries,
shoulder its responsibility for monitoring tunnels and prevent their
proliferation, as well as handling the effects and results of their use in
accordance with the law, using exceptional mechanisms to protect
citizens against the dangers of using them and following up certain
mechanisms to redress the tunnels’ victims in accordance with the law.
4. The departments of the Government in the Gaza Strip should order the
security agencies holding citizens to refrain from using torture and ill‐
treatment in the detention centers and prisons, and punish the
perpetrators. They should also ensure psychological and physical
rehabilitation and redress for the victims of torture.
5. The bodies engaged in the work of the Public Prosecution should
investigate the allegations of infringement of the right to life and
physical safety by the military personnel, especially in the detention
centers, to ensure the success of the cases referred to the military
judiciary in this regard, and not to allow perpetrators of these violations
to escape justice.
6. The bodies engaged in the work of the Police and Internal Security
Agencies should investigate the allegations of torture and ill‐treatment
and take the appropriate measures against the perpetrators of these
crimes.
