Het dappere Israelische leger arresteert levensgevaarlijke Palestijnse kinderen. 'About this Brief.
Palestinian refugee children growing up in the context of the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict are particularly vulnerable and in need of protection. Considerable attention has been paid by local and international actors to the situation of Palestinian children under Israel's occupation and to monitoring and protecting Palestinian children's rights under international humanitarian and human rights law, in particular the Fourth Geneva Convention and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. Much less attention has been given to the fact that more than half of the Palestinian children are also refugees and thus entitled to the particular protection afforded under international refugee law.
Brief No.10 examines the rights of Palestinian refugee children under three sets of international law, i.e. humanitarian, human rights, and refugee law as well as relevant United Nations resolutions. The firstpartofthisbrieflooksatgeneralprinciplesgoverningthe assistance and protection of refugee children. This is followed by an assessment of the principles outlined under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The third section reviews principles governing implementation of durable solutions. The fourth part of the brief examines the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The brief then concludes with a set of policy recommendations to improve protection and the search for durable solutions for Palestinian refugee children.
