Following the arrest of Munther Amira on the 27th December 2017, the International Federation of Social Workers issued a statement on January 7 2018: http://ifsw.org/news/release-social-worker-munther-amira-immediately-statement-by-ifsw-human-rights-commission/ In that statement, the Israeli Association of Social Workers (IASW) declined to support the campaign to free Munther Amira. The IASW has been silent on a number of human rights abuses in the Occupied Territories. Today March 29, the International Federation of Social Workers condemned the Israeli Association of Social Workers. "The IFSW Global Executive has issued a censure to its member The Israeli Union of Social Workers for not acting as an independent voice of the profession in Israel or working in accordance with the Federation’s Statement of Ethical Principles. This action follows correspondence and discussions where the IUSW has stated that the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and an end to the occupation is not a social work issue."
