This history explores how al-Haq initiated methodologies in law and practice that were ahead of their time and to which can be traced the origins of many strands of human rights work in Palestine and elsewhere today. It looks at the founders of this internationally recognized organization, its staffers, its work, and its legacy. Al-Haq's history answers important questions, such as: Why would one set up a human rights organization under military occupation? How would one go about promoting the rule of law in a Palestinian society deleteriously served by the law and with every reason to distrust those charged with implementing its protections? How would one go about educating overseas allies and activating international law in defense of Palestinian rights? This story speaks to the practice of local human rights organizations and their impact on international groups"--Provided by the publisher.New directions in Palestinian studies ;2.Human rightsPalestineHistoryHuman rightsWest BankHistoryHuman rightsGaza StripHistoryHuman rightsHistory.Human rightsHistory.Human rightsHistory.Welchman Lynn800833BOOK9910477122403321Al-Haq2224956UNINA09792nam 22008775 450 991048447030332120251226202252.03-319-07176-910.1007/978-3-319-07176-3(CKB)3710000000119152(DE-He213)978-3-319-07176-3(SSID)ssj0001240222(PQKBManifestationID)11683328(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001240222(PQKBWorkID)11207414(PQKB)10661650(MiAaPQ)EBC3093079(PPN)178782823(EXLCZ)99371000000011915220140522d2014 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierArtificial Intelligence and Soft Computing 13th International Conference, ICAISC 2014, Zakopane, Poland, June 1-5, 2014, Proceedings, Part II /edited by Leszek Rutkowski, Marcin Korytkowski, Rafał Scherer, Ryszard Tadeusiewicz, Lotfi A.
