הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

On 6 September 1999, concluding approximately a year and a half of deliberations, nine justices of the Supreme Court of Israel, sitting as High Court of Justice, published their decision in the case of HCJ 5100/94 The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel v. The Government of Israel. The ruling, issued after a struggle carried out over many years by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel and other human rights organizations, determined that the system of systematic torture inflicted by the General Security Service (GSS) for some 12 years, following the
recommendations of the Landau Commission, did not fulfill the requirements of Israeli law.
