Detention and Adjudication of Children as Adults: Cruel and Inhuman Treatment of Minors

The Proposed Youth Law (Adjudication, Penalizing and Manners of Treatment) (Amendment
– Detention and Imprisonment in Terror Offenses), 5783–2023, which has been tabled
before the Knesset, seeks to cause mortal damage to the rights and protections afforded to
minors during detention, interrogation, and adjudication, if the offense of which they are
suspected is manslaughter or attempted manslaughter and the act constitutes an act of
terror, or if the act was committed in the framework of membership of a terror organization
and for the purpose of advancing the goals of such an organization, as these are defined in
the Counter-Terrorism Law.
