'There Is Law'; transcribed into Arabic: ييش دين), full name Yesh Din: Volunteers for Human Rights,[a] is an Israeli organization working in Israel and in the West Bank.
The purpose of Yesh Din, as reflected in its publications, is to work "for structural, long-term improvement to human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT)".
The organization's name "reflects the belief that equitable application of local and international law is an important component in upholding human rights".
According to the organization, volunteers collect testimonies from Palestinians who claim that they have been injured or that their property has been damaged by Israeli citizens, and, if the need arises, accompany them to police stations to file a complaint.
[2] A second project deals with the accountability of Israeli security forces personnel suspected of committing offences against Palestinians in the West Bank.
In 2015 the organization published a report entitled "Standing Idly By",[3] dealing with the conduct of IDF soldiers during incidents in which they witness violence against Palestinians committed by Israeli citizens in the West Bank.
In December 2010, the daily newspaper Israel Hayom published Yesh Din's documents listing its missions for the years 2011–2012, among them "inserting the issue of war crimes" into legal, public and media discourse.
