Combatting De-Palestinization of Education in Occupied East Jerusalem
The project “Combatting De-Palestinization of Education in Occupied East Jerusalem” addresses: i) the need for effective protection of the right of Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem to preserve and develop their educational system in accordance with their own culture, values and national identity, and, ii) the right of East Jerusalem children to freely learn, express and be educated in respect to their Palestinian identity, culture, language and values. Palestinians, including children, hold these rights as protected persons under IHL, and as individuals and a people entitled to self-determination under IHRL.
This issue is addressed because of: the broad concern about the systematic manner in which Israel has undermined these rights; the failure to obtain redress in the past through repeated but uncoordinated efforts; the reluctance of foreign aid agencies and governments to engage in what is perceived to be a “political matter”, rather than one IHL and human rights; and, the serious consequences for Palestinian society in East Jerusalem, in particular its youth.
Below are some of the publications that reflect the objectives of the project.
