The Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizens' Rights
The Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizen's Rights (PICCR) was established in 1993 upon a Presidential Decree subsequently published in the Official Gazette in 1995. The mandate was specified to be “to follow-up and ensure that different Palestinian laws, by-laws and regulations, and the work of various departments, agencies and institutions of the State of Palestine and the Palestine Liberation Organization meet the requirements for safeguarding human rights”.
Furthermore Article 31 of the Basic Law voted by the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) in 1997 and ratified in 2002 provides that“An independent Commission for Human Rights shall be established by law, which shall specify its formation, duties and jurisdiction. The Commission shall submit its reports to the President of the National Authority and the Palestinian Legislative Council”.
