Amnesty International Report on Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians

02 February 2022 in 2022

Amnesty International's new report, "Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel system of domination and crime against humanity" has analysed Israel’s intent to create and maintain a system of oppression and domination over Palestinians and examined its key components. It has concluded that this system amounts to apartheid, as defined in the Rome Statute and Apartheid Convention.

"Our report reveals the true extent of Israel’s apartheid regime. Whether they live in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, or Israel itself, Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group and systematically deprived of their rights. We found that Israel’s cruel policies of segregation, dispossession and exclusion across all territories under its control clearly amount to apartheid. The international community has an obligation to act."

- Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International
