In the West Bank, there are two separate legal systems operating in the same territory. The sole factor in determining which laws apply to a person is his or her nationality and ethnicity. In fact, Israeli military law, which does not guarantee fundamental rights, is applied to the whole Palestinian population, while Israeli settlers living in the West Bank are subject to the Israeli civilian and criminal legal system.

No Israeli child comes into contact with the military court system. Unlike Israeli children living in illegal settlements in the West Bank, Palestinian children are not accompanied by a parent and are generally interrogated without the benefit of legal advice, or being informed of their right to silence. They are overwhelmingly accused of throwing stones, an offense that can lead to a potential maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years depending on a childs age.
