Child Rights Situation Analysis: Right to Protection in the occupied Palestinian territory – 2008

This situation analysis explores the immediate and underlying root causes behind the non-realisation of Palestinian children’s rights to protection and education in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (oPT). The study focuses on the level of protection available to three particular target groups of children living in the oPt, in terms of laws, policies, mechanisms and practices. The target groups in question are children vulnerable to violence, neglect, abuse and exploitation in their homes and communities; children in conflict with the law under Palestinian Authority (PA) jurisdiction and children detained by Israel under its military order system.
