Refugees also have Rights!
|
Report on the situation of Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon and Jordan based on a mission of inquiry 17-28 September 2000 (by Mohammed Tahri/Maria de Donato, 2001). The purpose of the mission was to study the Palestinian refugee situation in these two countries with regard to international legislation relating to refugees and human rights. Based on interviews with refugees and national and international organizations, this report pays special attention to the particular legal status of Palestinian refugees. Most of the international legal instruments applied for other refugees determining the rights and obligations of States towards them, do not apply to Palestinian refugees; as a result, they do not come under the general system of legal protection in the way that other refugees do.
