  *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.
