Severe
gaps exist in protection currently available for Palestinian
refugees and displaced persons, mainly due to the absence of
mechanisms – international and regional – with an explicit
protection mandate, as well as lack of clarity about strategies
that could link day-to-day protection with efforts for
rights-based durable solutions for Palestinian refugees. The
seminar aimed to identify major gaps in protection available for
Palestinian refugees and potential roles for international and
regional actors, review proposals and initiatives aimed at the
improvement of protection, and achieve maximum consensus about
strategies that could both enhance protection and support
rights-based durable solutions for Palestinian refugees. |
