Palestinian Refugees and International Law: Weekend Workshop

18 March – 19 March 2011

The Danish Institute in Damascus

8-10 Suq al-Souf,
Suq Madhat Pasha
Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic

Fee: £200 ($300)

This two-day workshop places the Palestinian refugee case study within 
the broader context of the international human rights regime.  It 
examines, within a human rights framework, the policies and practices of 
Middle Eastern states as they impinge upon Palestinian refugees. Through 
a mix of lectures, working group exercises and interactive sessions, 
participants engage actively and critically with the contemporary 
debates in international law and analyse the specific context of 
Palestinian refugees in the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the 
West Bank, Gaza and Israel).

The workshop commences with the background of the Palestinian refugee 
crisis, with special attention to the socio- political historical 
context and legal status of Palestinian refugees in the region. This is 
followed by a careful examination of the Universal Declaration of Human 
Rights including its philosophical underpinnings and ensuing human 
rights instruments in international law. The key themes, which have 
taken centre stage in the debate on the Palestinian refugee crisis, are 
statelessness, right of return, repatriation, self-determination, 
restitution compensation and protection. These themes are critically 
examined along with current discussions about the respective roles of 
UNRWA, UNHCR and the UNCCP in the Palestinian refugee case.
