This study examines the position of the Public Prosecution (Prosecution) in the Palestinian political system, its relationship with the governance system, and the impact of its legal and functional structure on standards of political integrity. The study begins with assessing the effectiveness of the Prosecution’s role in relation to its level of independence, given that it is the official prosecuting body, separate from executive authority. The study also assesses the effects of this relationship on its performance as a protector of public interest, a guardian of the rule of law, and also in fighting corruption.
