Online Course on Human Rights

The 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. It will also focus 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. There is 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. Additionally, it will cover the social, economic, cultural, political, and citizenship rights guaranteed to them by international law.

The Current Situation In The West Bank, Palestine

Since 1967, Palestinians living in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and East Jerusalem have faced “severe and discriminatory limitations on their human rights,” according to Human Rights Watch. Because of the region’s continuous military occupation, respect for international law has been restricted. This is due to the UN ruling out the idea of a Palestinian state in 1967.

There have been widespread violations of international human rights law and humanitarian law by Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. This is according to a report released by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). The report was published on 5 March 2015 and relates to the period from 26 May 2013 to 31 October 2014. You will obtain a better grasp of the condition of human rights in the West Bank from your participation in the Human Rights Program in the West Bank.
