Notes
Adalah (“Justice” in Arabic), an independent human rights organization and legal center, became an independent NGO in 1997. Since then, it has brought about 250 impact litigation cases before the Israeli Supreme Court and the lower courts, which have spanned diverse fields including land and planning rights, civil and political rights, economic, social, and cultural rights, and prisoners’ rights. Numerous cases have resulted in landmark, precedent-setting decisions.
