HCJ gave the force of judgment to an agreement reached between the sides in a petition regarding the provision of notification of a person's detention and whereabouts according to security legislation in the OPT. The agreement details the procedure for providing notice regarding the detention and location and establishes that such notice be given without delay according to details given by the detainee. The agreement also establishes that all security forces provide a control center with up-to-date information regarding the detention and location of a detainee once daily. The control center is to provide details from this information in response to written applications by organizations handling this issue and/or attorneys representing detainees.
