Abstract

In June 2018, a new Reform came into effect in the Judea and Samaria Area (the West Bank; hereinafter “the Area”). For the first time, victims of terror activity that was adjudicated in military courts in the Area, acting under international law, were given statutory rights. These victims were awarded new procedural rights, including the right to receive information regarding the proceedings against the defendant, updates regarding plea bargains, release from prison, and pardon. The rights that crime victims are now entitled to, following the Reform, will allow them to state their opinion on and take part in the proceeding, though not entirely so. The article describes the new Reform regarding victims of terrorism in the Area. It explains the legal, international, and social factors that were at the basis of the Reform. It portrays how these changes are compliant with principles of international law and of foreign legal systems relating to enhancing the protection of crime victims. The article then explores the normative changes expected as a result of the Reform and performs a preliminary evaluation of future developments resulting from its application, de facto. Simultaneously, the article poses criticism to certain aspects of the Reform, such as regarding the enforcement of compensation awarded to victims of terrorism in the Area, and offers suggestions for improvement.
在犯罪受害者和恐怖主义受害者之间
2018年6月,新的改革在犹太和撒玛利亚地区(西岸;以下简称“区域”)。根据国际法在“地区”军事法庭审判的恐怖活动的受害者第一次获得了法定权利。这些受害者获得了新的诉讼权利,包括有权获得有关被告诉讼程序的信息、辩诉交易的最新情况、从监狱释放和赦免。在改革之后,犯罪受害者现在有权享有的权利将允许他们陈述自己的意见并参与诉讼程序,尽管并非完全如此。这篇文章描述了关于该地区恐怖主义受害者的新改革。它解释了作为改革基础的法律、国际和社会因素。它描述了这些变化如何符合国际法和有关加强保护犯罪受害者的外国法律制度的原则。然后,本文探讨了改革预期带来的规范变化,并对其实际应用所带来的未来发展进行了初步评估。同时,文章对改革的某些方面提出了批评,例如对“地区”恐怖主义受害者赔偿的执行,并提出了改进建议。
