HCJ ruling legalized quarry activity in the West Bank by Israeli companies - Yesh Din Response
On 26 December 2011 the Israeli Supreme Court (sitting as the High Court of Justice) handed down its judgment in the petition submitted by Israeli human rights organization, Yesh Din, challenging the legality of Israeli quarrying activities in the occupied territories. The High Court of Justice (HCJ) panel of judges, chaired by Chief Justice Dorit Beinisch, dismissed the petition and held that the quarrying activities are legal and do not violate the provisions of international law.
It is Yesh Din's position that the court has handed down an erroneous and dangerous judgment that is likely to implicate Israel in the commission of grave violations of the provisions of international humanitarian law applicable to the occupied territories.
