The IDF has been accused of prisoner abuse by Palestinian advocacy organizations. In July 2003, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) reported that "Israel does not recognize Palestinian prisoners as having the status of prisoners of war." The Israeli military sets the conditions of detention and the administrative detention system allows for the imprisonment of an individual for up to 6 months. This detention can be extended without the approval of a judge. The FIDH report noted that, "In the case of administrative detention, the necessary conditions for the execution of a fair trial are far from being achieved given that the lawyers do not even have access to the evidence."
