Dimona nuclear reactor is purely a military facility situated in Negev desert near Dimona city of Israel and has covert nuclear program. In 1950s Israeli government received strategic and financial assistance from the U.S and France for the construction of this nuclear reactor. It is believed that this nuclear facilty has around 300 nuclear warheads. It is impossible to disconect Mordechai Vanunu and Malick case from Dimona nuclear reactor where both persons became victims of human rights violations and seeking justice. Therefore, the paper examines the factors behind the construction of Dimona nuclear reactor and how Israeli authorities victimized nuclear scientists as a security measure, who were working in this nuclear reactor. In this way, the cases of Vanunu and Malick are deliberate pictures of Israeli violations of human rights. Once again in 2009 the violation of human rights by Israel in Middle East challenged the rules of international institutions when Mr. Julius Malick exposed the terrible face of Israeli authorities who respect the human rights more than any other country. Malick a nuclear scientist faced critical circumstances while serving in Dimona nuclear reactor of Israel. He was forced by an official order from his seniors to participate with five other colleagues in a toxic experiment in which they had juice laced with uranium without getting assurance of dire health risks. Dimona nuclear reactor always remained critical because at initial stage it was declared an industrial facility. Then it became an international issue when Mordechai Vanunu unmasked the production of weapons in this military installation in 1986. Therefore, before discussing the details of Vanunu and Malick cases, it is necessary to understand the role Dimona nuclear reactor and how it established.
