B'Tselem (Israel NGO) - Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, 2000-2024

* B'Tselem (Israel NGO) - Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, 2000-2024 (134 reports)

B'TSELEM (Hebrew: lit. "in the image [of God]") is a Jerusalem-based independent non-profit organization whose stated goals are to document human rights violations in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, combat any denial of the existence of such violations, and help to create a human rights culture in Israel.  B'Tselem's funding comes from private individuals (both Israeli and foreign) and European and North American foundations focusing on human rights.

Founded in 1989, B'Tselem strives for a future in which human rights, liberty and equality are guaranteed to all people, Palestinian and Jewish alike, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.  Such a future will only be possible when the Israeli occupation ends.

According to B'Tselem, "The initial mandate we took upon ourselves focused on the occupation regime in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and in the Gaza Strip.  However, over the years, it has become clear that the concept of two parallel regimes operating between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River – a permanent democracy west of the Green Line and a temporary military occupation to the east of it – is divorced from reality.  The entire area that Israel controls is ruled by a single apartheid regime, governing the lives of all people living in it and operating according to one organizing principle: establishing and perpetuating the control of one group of people – Jews – over another – Palestinians – through laws, practices and state violence."

The organization has earned a place of honor in the local and international human rights community, and has received various awards, including the Carter-Menil Award for Human Rights (1989, jointly with Al-Haq); the Danish PL Foundation Human Rights Award (2011, jointly with Al-Haq); the Stockholm Human Rights Award (2014); and the Human Rights Award of the French Republic (2018, jointly with Al-Haq).
