Yeah, few media outlet in the West, ever discuss this issue.
Currently, there are over 2,000 Palestinian who had been kidnapped and held in detention indefinitely; without charge or a conviction.
This (detention order) gives the Israeli military unlimited powers to detain Palestinian indefinitely.ISSUANCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION ORDERS
The issuance of an administrative detention order falls within the powers of the Israeli military commander of the area as well as within the powers of the Minister of the Israeli security detainees in Jerusalem. Israeli law grants the military commander the power to make any modifications to military orders relating to administrative detention for military necessity, without taking into account any international standards related to the rights of detainees. The Israeli military commander bases his decision on secret information, which cannot be accessed by the detainee nor his lawyer in order to preserve the integrity of the sources of this information. The Israeli Supreme Court has in several cases said that the evidence cannot be accessed by the detainee nor his lawyer without taking into consideration the right of the detainee to fair trial procedures, which constitutes a violation of the right of administrative detainees to know the reason for his or her arrest. These procedures constitute a violation of Article 9(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that recognizes the right of an individual who is arrested to “be informed, at the time of arrest, of the reasons for his arrest and shall be promptly informed of any charges against him.” The procedures are also a violation of Article 9 (1) of the same convention, which affirms that “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention” and states that “No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedure as are established by law.”
