HCJFH 360/15 HaMoked - Center for the Defence of the Individual et al.v. Minister of Defense Request for Further Hearing

Request for further hearing in the public petition against the policy of punitive house demolition filed by HaMoked and seven other human rights organizations. HaMoked asserts that the issue and its repercussions are of the utmost importance and difficulty; that the petition's main arguments, that this is collective punishment and needless destruction of protected persons' property - both prohibited under international law, were never exhaustively discussed, in this judgment too. HaMoked mentions that the Palestinians have joined the Rome Statute, and thus gave the ICC jurisdiction to investigate and adjudicate violations of the laws of war in the West Bank. Based on the opinion of international-law experts, HaMoked cautions that punitive demolition may be considered a war crime.
