Issuing a position paper titled: Toward a Comprehensive National Approach to Reforming the Palestinian Security Sector, the Civil Forum to Promote Good Governance in the Security Sector calls for the repeal of the law amending the Security Forces Service Law
Ramallah – In presence of representatives of civil society organizations, the Civil Forum to Promote Good Governance in the Security Sector released a position paper entitled: “Towards a Comprehensive National Approach to Reforming the Palestinian Security Sector”, highlighting the Forum's observations on Law No. (7) of 2024 on amending the Palestinian Security Forces Service Law No. (8) of 2005 and its amendments.
The Forum believes that reform must be within the framework of a comprehensive national approach to reforming the Palestinian security sector. Efforts should also focus on a balanced and realistic vision that takes into account the political, economic and social realities resulting from the continued escalation of the occupation. Furthermore, the development and reform of the security sector should not be reduced to specific treatments of the legal framework that regulates authorization, structure and oversight, but the process should include a comprehensive national review based primarily on the security priorities and needs of citizens and strengthening their steadfastness.
