[24 February 2021] – Under Israeli military law a detainee has the right to consult with a lawyer prior to interrogation. There are exceptions but generally these do not apply to children. A detainee must also be informed of this right prior to questioning. In 2006, Israel's Supreme Court confirmed that the right to promptly consult with a lawyer is a fundamental right. Regardless, for years the military authorities systematically denied children access to lawyers until after the interrogation process was concluded, and in many cases, coerced confessions were obtained.
