Palestinian children are typically seized off the streets or from the privacy of their homes -- sometimes for no stated reason at all, other times to obtain intelligence for use against their own family members, and still others as punishment for acts such as peaceful protests that are not considered criminal under international law. Such practices contradict the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Israel ratified in 1991. Article 37(b) states, (Children should not be deprived of their rights arbitrarily and illegally…and they should be arrested legally only as a last resort and for as short a period of time as possible).
