                            <p>This study aims to document the systematic torture and ill-treatment practices that Israel applies to Palestinians in Gaza, especially during the detention and detention processes, to reveal their nature and to reveal the violation of international human rights law of these systematic actions. In this context, it is emphasized that the prohibition of torture is anabsolute and imperative norm in international law, and how Israel violates this prohibition (strip search, rape, attack with dogs, prolonged deprivation of food and water, beating, sexual assault) is revealed through concrete data (visual evidence, international media reports, and testimonies). In addition, violence against Palestinians and the conditions of detention of those deprived of their liberty were examined. The method used in the study is a descriptive approach based on case analysis. The findings have shown that the practices in question are systematic and deliberate, and that they aim to harm the physical integrity of individuals, to humiliate them, and to wear them down psychologically. The study underlines the absolute principle of the prohibition of torture underinternational human rights law and draws attention to the need for the international community to respond more effectively to these violations.</p></trans-abstract>

Bu bağlamda, işkence yasağının uluslararası hukukta mutlak ve emredici bir norm olduğu vurgulanarak İsrail’in bu yasağı hangi uygulamalarla (çıplak arama, tecavüz, köpekli saldırı, uzun süreli aç-susuz bırakma, dayak, cinsel saldırı) nasıl ihlal ettiği somut verilerle (görsel kanıtlar, uluslararası medya raporları ve tanıklıklar) aracılığıyla ortaya konmuştur. Çalışmada ayrıca Filistinlilere yönelik şiddet ve özgürlüğünden mahrum bırakılmış kişilerin tutulma koşulları da mercek altınaalınmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan yöntem, vaka analizine dayalı betimsel yaklaşımdır. Elde edilen bulgular, söz konusu uygulamaların güvenlik gerekçeleriyle izah edilemeyecek kadar sistematik ve kasıtlı olduğunu, kişilerin fiziksel bütünlüğüne zarar vermeyi, onları aşağılamayı ve psikolojik olarak yıpratmayı amaçladığını göstermiştir. Çalışma, uluslararası insan hakları hukuku uyarınca işkence yasağının mutlaklığı ilkesinin altını çizerken, uluslararası toplumun bu ihlallere karşı daha etkin tepki vermesi gerektiğine dikkat çekmektedir.</p></abstract>
