Public Perceptions of Palestinian Justice and Security Institutions

Public Perceptions of Palestinian Justice and Security Institutions

September 10, 2013

UNDP recognises that the success of its support to access to justice and the rule of law begins and ends in Palestinian households. To assess public perceptions of justice and security service delivery, UNDP commissioned a survey to establish the extent to which Palestinians engage with and trust justice and security institutions. This baseline survey will contribute to tracking the impact of UNDP’s Rule of Law and Access to Justice Programme in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). Two national implementing partners working in close coordination with UNDP conducted the survey. Both the survey size and sampling methodology - 6,710 households, in every governorate in each area of the oPt - were selected to enable a broad sampling of Palestinian opinions to be recorded. This report provides an overall picture of how the Palestinian people perceive their justice and security institutions.
