This inside 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 revelatory story speaks to the practice of local human rights organizations and their impact on international groups"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aNew directions in Palestinian studies ;$vVolume 2. 517 $aAl-Haq 606 $aHuman rights$zGaza Strip 606 $aHuman rights$zPalestine 606 $aHuman rights$zWest Bank$xHistory 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory. 676 $a342.56942085 700 $aWelchman$b Lynn$0800833 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493750603321 996 $aAl-Haq$92224956 997 $aUNINA
