Citation from the Award Committee:
Israel’s Ministry of Justice has a small department in Tel Aviv called “The Inspector for Complaints Against General Security Service Interrogators” that handles complaints against the Israeli General Security Service regarding the use of torture and other extreme methods of interrogation. Although it has reviewed more than 1,450 complaints, there have been no criminal charges. Despite this, the authors of this paper argue that this unit serves an extremely legitimate purpose.
