NGOs, Universal Human Rights and Gilad Shalit: Four Years of Double Standards
For most of the four years since the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, most human rights NGOs have ignored his situation. On the fourth anniversary of Shalits capture, most of these NGOs continued their silence. The exceptions were HRW, BTselem, and PCATI. Amnesty International, which was initially active, to a limited degree, on the Shalit issue, was silent.

Precision-guided or Indiscriminate? NGO Reporting on Compliance with the Laws of Armed Conflict
This monograph analyzes the reporting of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch regarding the 2008-2009 conflict in Gaza and southern Israel. Their factual and legal claims, particularly relating to Israel's use of White Phosphorus and UAVs, are considered in light of military sources, state doctrine, and the academic literature.The analysis demonstrates that many of the NGOs' factual claims are contradicted by expert sources, and that in numerous instances, their presentation of international law is inaccurate or incomplete.
