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 and 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, with 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, particularly those of children, women, and refugees.  It will also broaden your understanding and awareness of society, especially in relation to marginalized groups, and of the social, economic, cultural, political, and citizenship rights guaranteed to them by international law.

The Current Situation In The West Bank, Palestine

For anyone considering enrolling in this online course, the following article may provide insight into Palestine’s human rights situation. It summarizes a report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) from 2015. If anything, the situation probably deteriorated during the intervening period. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in a report released on 5 March 2015 and relating to the period of 26 May 2013 to 31 October 2014, it was noted that there were “widespread violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law” in Palestine.
