Proposal regarding theRegulation on rights and freedoms and the Judicial Authority In the future constitution of the state of Palestine
This project adopts a holistic approach in working towards a Palestinian constitution based on the HRs/IHL and societal consensus. Hence, the basis are a wide societal dialogue, 7 of the 15 signed UN conventions (from now on 'the conventions') which are in the realms of MUSAWA's focus area1 and sections of the suggested draft constitution which are in MUSAWA's field of expertise2. For the conventions to have a real impact on the ground, legislation has to be developed which is aligned with them to guarantee citizens their basic rights. A comparative study at the beginning of the project highlights the weaknesses and discrepancies of Palestinian law3 in light of and with the conventions. Workshops and round table discussions are held before in Gaza and the West Bank before and after the first draft of sections of the suggested draft constitution. A wide public dialogue is held through traditional and social media to garner as much societal support for the final document as possible. Lobbying will occur at the end of the project and thereafter, not only by Musawa but in conjunction with other stakeholders.
