Bring Terrorists to Justice
Holding terrorists responsible for their actions is chiefly thought to be the responsibility of the government—through covert military operations and diplomatic exchanges. But this is not to say that ordinary citizens are helpless in this fight. Often, pressure from outside the government is needed in order to ensure terrorists cannot act with impunity.One of Shurat HaDin’s central activities has been to challenge terrorists in courts throughout the world. We have exhorted the Israeli government to act against Hamas operatives; engaged in legal battles to ensure that terrorists are either indicted or extradited; and have pressured other states to properly act against terrorists located within their borders.
Some of Our Cases:
