Every year, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) publishes an annual report, The State of Human Rights in Israel and the Occupied Territories. Published just before International Human Rights Day, the report surveys the human rights situation over the past year in Israel, in the Occupied Territories, and in any place where human rights are violated by Israeli authorities. With this report, ACRI sounds a warning call regarding some of the more egregious human rights violations; notes areas of improvement – insofar as they exist; seeks to draw attention to certain human rights infringements that have not garnered media attention and public awareness; and points out to key processes underway in the field of human rights that are leaving their mark on Israel’s citizens and residents.
