Rulings of the Israeli Military Courts and International Law (2019) Nery Ramati Oxford Academic: Journal of Conflict and Security Law International humanitarian law (IHL) provides the occupying power extensive legal tools in order to allow it to control and govern the local occupied population, with the possibility of establishing a military law system being one of the most influential. The military law system gives the Military Commander of the occupied area an immense power as a potential legislator and judicial authority, but what happens when this legal system encounters the limitations placed by IHL in general and Occupation Law in particular?

The law of belligerent occupation in the Supreme Court of Israel (2012)
David Kretzmer
Since the 1967 War the Supreme Court of Israel has considered thousands of petitions relating to acts of the military and other authorities in Occupied Territories. This article reviews the contribution to the law of belligerent occupation of the Court’s jurisprudence in these cases. After discussing issues of jurisdiction and the applicable norms, the article reviews the way in which the Court has interpreted military needs, the welfare of the local population, changes in the local law, and use of resources; the attitude of the Court to the long-term nature of the occupation and the existence of Israeli settlements, settlers, and commuters in the Occupied Territories.
 
False Confessions: Causes, Consequences, and Implications (2009) Richard A. Leo, PhD, JD  The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law

Police-induced false confessions are a leading cause of wrongful conviction of the innocent. In this article, empirical research on the causes and correlates of false confessions is reviewed. After a description of the three sequential processes that are responsible for the elicitation of false confessions - misclassification, coercion, and contamination - the three psychologically distinct types of false confession (voluntary, compliant, and persuaded) are discussed along with the consequences of introducing false-confession evidence in the criminal justice system. The article concludes with a brief descussion of the implications of empirical research for reducing the number of false confessions and improving the accuracy of confession evidence that is introduced against a defendant at trial.

The judicial arm of the occupation: the Israeli military courts in the occupied territories (2007)
Sharon Weill
Since the beginning of the Israeli occupation more than 200,000 cases have been brought before military courts, where Palestinian civilians have been prosecuted and judged by the military authorities. However, despite the large number of judicial decisions, this jurisprudence has not received the attention it merits. Academic researchers and NGOs have usually examined the procedural rights of the accused and have only rarely dealt with other legal matters. This article aims to examine the preliminary issue of territorial jurisdiction. Through the analysis a process of judicial domination is revealed. It is a domination that facilitates extensive control of the military authorities over the Palestinian civilian population through their judicial powers.

Courting Conflict: The Israeli Military Court System in the West Bank and Gaza (2005)
Lisa Hajjar
University of California Press
Israel's military court system, a centerpiece of Israel's apparatus of control in the West Bank and Gaza since 1967, has prosecuted hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. This authoritative book provides a rare look at an institution that lies both figuratively and literally at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Lisa Hajjar has conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of Israelis and Palestinians—including judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, defendants, and translators—about their experiences and practices to explain how this system functions, and how its functioning has affected the conflict.

David Kretzmer

The Supreme Court of Israel began reviewing actions of military authorities in the West Bank and Gaza soon after June 1967. In subsequent years this review became a central feature of Israel’s legal and political control over these territories. The Court has handed down hundreds of decisions covering a wide scope of actions in the Occupied Territories. This book presents the first comprehensive discussion of these decisions.
