Researcher Basheer Al-Zoughbi released a new study in the Arab Law Quarterly dealing with the detention of protected persons without trial or charge under the laws and customs of war. The study explores the resort of Israel (as the occupying Power) to such measures and the role of its judiciary. It further considers the grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention (a war crime) of deportation of scores of Palestinian persons to prisons and detention centers outside the frontiers of their occupied territory. Simultaneously, it considers how the violations of the rules and procedures on internment or assigned residence have amounted to four grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention. These are inhuman treatment, wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, unlawful confinement and wilfully depriving a protected person of the right to fair and lawful trial.
