HCJ 5030/07 - HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual v. Minister of Interior et al. Brief of the Petitioner
HaMoked files its main arguments in a petition to repeal the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law inasmuch as it applies to children. As an alternative remedy, HaMoked seeks a ruling that any child who resides in Israel and one of whose parents is a permanent resident would be eligible for permanent residency. In the petition, one of several challenging the Law, HaMoked claims the Law is unconstitutional, demographically, racially and economically motivated and that it contradicts the Adalah ruling and severely violates the fundamental rights of children and their families as enshrined in case law, as well as Israeli and international law.
