Research output: Working paper/preprintWorking paper

Abstract

In this article we argue that privatization of core government authorities create structural changes. Litigation against Privatization processes of core government authorities must address these institutional-structural changes in executive authority, and not rely on potential violations to individual rights. In light of the Israeli Supreme Court decision to annul a law privatizing prisons, we show how litigation against privatization of core state authorities is changing the role of public interest lawyers engaged in civil rights work in Israel.
