Development of the Palestinian Civil Police Code of Conduct

June 12, 2014

The Palestinian Civil Police (PCP), with support from UNDP and EUPOL COPPS, has finalised its first ever code of conduct, in consultation with civil society and other Palestinian Authority (PA) institutions. The code of conduct was a major focus of the recently concluded UNDP/EUPOL COPPS Joint Programme: Strengthening Internal Police Accountability, National Anti-Corruption and Civilian Oversight, and is aimed at ensuring that the policies and actions of the PCP are in accordance with international human rights norms and standards.
