The United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) condemned Israel's practice of administrative detention, in which Israeli intelligence security forces foil terror attacks before they occur. At a press briefing in Geneva, OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani ignored Israel's rights under international law - including under the Fourth Geneva Convention - to detain suspects for imperative reasons of
security. She stated: "We call, once again, on Israel to end its practice of administrative detention and to either release without delay or to promptly charge all administrative detainees and prosecute them with all the judicial guarantees required by international human rights law and standards."
