The principle in the Israeli court: The Supreme Court of the State of Israel has established that the principle of non-refoulement applies in Israel under the Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty, which guarantees the basic right to life. State representatives have repeatedly declared in court the commitment of the State of Israel to honor this principle. However, despite the declared commitment, the State of Israel has to date failed to establish the mechanisms and enact the procedures required to ensure that persons it expels from its territory will not be sent to a place where they might face danger.
