Annex III
PROTOCOL CONCERNING LEGAL MATTERS
Article I
Criminal Jurisdiction
1. The criminal jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority covers all
offenses committed in the areas under its territorial jurisdiction
(hereinafter, for the purposes of this Annex, "the Territory")
subject to the provisions of this Article.
2. Israel has sole criminal jurisdiction over the following offenses:
a. offenses committed in the Settlements and the Military
Installation Area subject to the provisions of this Annex; and
b. offenses committed in the Territory by Israelis.
3. In exercising their criminal jurisdiction, each side shall have the
power, inter alia, to investigate, arrest, bring to trial and punish
offenders.
4. In addition, and without derogating from the territorial
jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, Israel has the power to
arrest and to keep in custody individuals suspected of having
committed offenses which fall within Israeli criminal jurisdiction
as noted in paragraphs 2 and 7 of this Article, who are present in
the Territory, in the following cases:
a. The individual is an Israeli, in accordance with Article II of
this Annex; or
b. (1) The individual is a non-Israeli suspected of having just
committed an offense in a place where Israeli authorities
exercise their security functions in accordance with Annex
I, and is arrested in the vicinity in which the offense was
committed. The arrest shall be with a view to transferring
the suspect, together with all evidence, to the Palestinian
Police at the earliest opportunity.
(2) In the event that such an individual is suspected of having
committed an offense against Israel or Israelis, and there
is a need for further legal proceedings with respect to that
individual, Israel may retain him or her in custody and the
question of the appropriate forum for prosecuting such a
suspect shall be dealt with by the Legal Committee on a
case-by-case basis.
5. In the case of an offense committed in the Territory by a
non-Israeli against Israel or an Israeli, the Palestinian Authority
shall take measures to investigate and prosecute the case, and shall
report to Israel on the result of the investigation and any legal
proceedings.
6. a. Tourists in transit to or from Israel through the Gaza Strip or
the Jericho Area, who are present on the Lateral Roads or on the
main North-South road crossing the Jericho Area (Route No. 90),
may be arrested and questioned only by the Israeli authorities
which shall notify the Palestinian Authority. Where the Israeli
authorities conclude that an offense under the prevailing law
has been committed, and that further legal proceedings in
respect of the tourist are required, such proceedings shall be
taken by the Palestinian Authority.
b. Where such a tourist present outside these areas is detained or
arrested by the Palestinian Authority, it shall notify the
Israeli authorities immediately and shall enable them at the
earliest opportunity to meet the detainee and to provide any
necessary assistance, including consular notification, requested
by the detainee.
7. Nothing in this Article shall derogate from Israel's criminal
jurisdiction in accordance with its domestic laws over offenses
committed outside Israel (including in the Territory) against Israel
or an Israeli with due regard to the principle that no person can be
tried twice for the same offense. The exercise of such jurisdiction
shall be subject to the provisions of this Annex and without
prejudice to the criminal jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority.

Israeli military forces the Palestinian Police may, if
necessary, detain the suspect in place while ensuring his
protection and the protection of all those involved and shall
prevent interference with the scene of the offense, collect the
necessary evidence and conduct preliminary questioning.
d. Without derogating from the jurisdiction of the Palestinian
Authority over property located or transported within the
Territory, where the property is being transported or carried by
an Israeli, the following procedure shall apply: The Palestinian
authorities have the power to take any measures necessary in
relation to Israeli vehicles or personal belongings where such
vehicle or belongings have been used in commission of a crime
and present an immediate danger to public safety or health. When
such measures are taken the Palestinian authorities shall
immediately notify the Israeli authorities through the relevant
DCO, and shall continue to take the necessary measures until
their arrival.

present in the Territory, the Israeli military forces shall be

Areas or on the Lateral Roads and their adjacent sides as

notify the Palestinian Police immediately, provide it with all
necessary information, and coordinate wherever possible.

requested.
