Salam Palestine‘s online course on Human Rights in Palestine is an informative program that will provide participants with information about the human rights situation in Palestine. The online course will focus on women’s and children’s rights in particular, and also on the work of human rights NGOs in the city of Hebron. The program is designed to give you a better understanding of the human rights situation in Palestine, and of the numerous violations of them, with a particular emphasis on the personal testimony of individuals who have experienced the situation on the ground.
The Human Rights In Palestine online course will allow you to raise awareness of human rights and in particular the rights of children, women, and refugees. This human rights online course will also broaden your understanding and awareness of society, especially about marginalized groups, and of the social, economic, cultural, political, and citizenship rights guaranteed to them by international law.
The Current Situation In The West Bank, Palestine
For the benefit of anyone who is considering enrolling in this online course, the following article may provide some insight into the human rights situation in Palestine. It is a summary of a report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) from 2015, and if anything, the situation has probably deteriorated in the intervening period. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in a report from 5 March 2015 relating to the period of 26 May 2013 to 31 October 2014, there were “widespread violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law” in Palestine.
The pervasiveness of military occupation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and East Jerusalem showcases that adherence to international law has many limits, with the independent international NGO, Human Rights Watch, noting “severe and discriminatory restrictions on Palestinians’ human rights.”
Topics Covered On The Course
All discussions and presentations come from the lecturer, in fluent English, who will explain in detail the human rights situation in Palestine. The presentations will include the following topics:
