Administrative Detention
Administrative detention is a procedure under which detainees are held without charge or trial. No charges are filed, and there is no intention of bringing a detainee to trial. By the detention order, a detainee is given a specific term of detention. On or before the expiry of the term, the detention order is frequently renewed. This process can be continued indefinitely.

Enduring Occupation: Palestinians under siege in the West Bank
The Occupied Palestinian West Bank is criss-crossed by a web of some 550 Israeli military checkpoints and blockades, and a winding 700km fence/wall which runs from north to south, encircling Palestinian villages as well as whole neighborhoods. These restrictions prevent movement between Palestinian towns and villages, splitting and isolating Palestinian communities, separating Palestinians from their agricultural land, hampering access to work, schools, health facilities and relatives, and destroying the Palestinian economy. The fence/wall itself, located as it is inside occupied territory, is unlawful, according to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
