*Palestinian Human Rights NGOs will not be Silenced, and Call on the
International Community to take Concrete Actions to Rescind Barbarous
Israeli Designations*
Date: 23 October 2021
Al-Haq strongly rejects the designation made by the Israeli Ministry of
Defense, on 19 October 2021, of Al-Haq and five fellow Palestinian civil
society organisations as “terror organisations,” under Israel’s domestic
Anti-Terrorism Law, 2016 and calls for international solidarity and
concrete measures to ensure its immediate rescission.
The baseless allegations represent an alarming and unjust escalation of
attacks against the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom,
justice and the right to self-determination. Israel’s widespread and
systematic smearing of Palestinian human rights NGOs and human rights
defenders aims to delegitimize, oppress, silence and drain their work
and resources. Further, the unlawful application of Israel’s domestic
law to the occupied Palestinian territory (OPT) serves to entrench the
maintenance of its settler-colonial and apartheid regime of
institutionalised racial discrimination and domination over the
Palestinian people as a whole.
For decades, Al-Haq has struggled to end Israel’s illegal
settler-colonial policies and practices which, since 1948, have denied
the Palestinian people from exercising their inalienable right to
self-determination. Al-Haq is one of the leading Palestinian
organizations calling for accountability and an end to Israel’s impunity
for war crimes and crimes against humanity. It is no coincidence that
Israel’s recent escalation of punitive measures against Al-Haq and
fellow civil society organisations, has come in the immediate aftermath
of the opening of an International Criminal Court investigation

Israel’s crimes in the Situation in Palestine. To that end, Al-Haq will
tirelessly maintain its efforts to ensure that Israeli perpetrators of
mass atrocity crimes are held accountable.
The history of human rights advocacy and defense, from Africa to Latin
America and other corners of the globe, have shown that the means and
methods of the oppressor have no limits. In striving towards the
liberation of Palestine from Israel’s apartheid and settler colonial
regime, our work as human rights defenders will not be deterred or
silenced. We are confident in the solidarity of our friends and
partners around the world in confronting these obstacles placed before us.
The Palestinian struggle is a universal struggle against oppression and
the denial of self-determination in the pursuit of justice and the
ability to live in dignity. We remain steadfast in advocating for a
dignified future for the Palestinian people and the liberation of
Palestine from the shackles of Israel’s unlawful colonial rule.
Justice will prevail.
