Abstract
This working paper highlights deficits in the
Palestinian security sector complaints system and
proposes recommendations to rectify them. It
particularly focuses on the insufficient coordination between the vast array of different complaints units and the disputed and unclear role played by civil society and the media. It hopes to make Palestinian

system can be an effective source of
