Twenty Seventh Annual Report annual report of ICHR 2021

This is the Annual Report 2021 of the Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR). Reflecting the human rights situation in the Palestinian territory, the report presents the outcome of the diligent work and ongoing activity carried out by the ICHR staff under extremely challenging circumstances throughout the Palestinian territory. In addition to monitoring and documentation, in 2021, the ICHR received complaints from citizens and intervened with government bodies.

By publishing its Annual Report on the Situation of Human Rights, the ICHR aims to shed light on the status of human rights and public freedoms in Palestine, serving the inherent right of citizens and various community actors to access relevant information. The report showcases the outcome of another year of the reality of, and respect for, human rights by duty bearers. The ICHR also seeks to draw conclusions and come up with recommendations to be implemented, contributing to the respect for citizens’ rights, promoting human rights, redressing injustices done to citizens and social groups, and creating an enabling environment for observing these rights.
